    Form Maker Pro Installation

    I have been trying to install Form Maker Pro (looks pretty cool). I have downloaded the zip file and entered BlueFTP, but I don't see it anywhere? I'm assuming I would just select the "fmp" file, push "UP" to upload, and that would be the end of it (Then go to www.domain.com/fmpinstall or something). Am I right? Where should the Form Maker file be in BlueFTP?

    Thanks!

    Sorry...realized that uploading in BFTP is of the drag and drop variety. Once in the public_htmll folder, can I install via CP?

      Re: Form Maker Pro Installation

      And I keep answering all my own questions. At this rate I'll be finished before anyone can reply. I was a bit thrown by the following instruction :"chmod the the entire fmp folder to 755 unless you are on the voda2 sever IP 70.86.30.66 you will chmod the the entire fmp folder to to 777". I am not overly technical, so I'm not sure how to "chmod" a folder. This seems to be the last step...

        it seems this is a permissions issue. You can change the permissions of the folder through file manager in cpanel. click on the folder then look to the menue on the right. change permissions and make it the appropriate 777 or 755.

            I'm just not sure of the next step. Once the file has been uploaded, the next instruction is as mentioned previously. I don't know what "chmod" is. Also, in the file manager, I don't see any menu. The page with instructions is here: http://www.vodahost.com/fmpdocs/

            Thanks again...

              Does anyone have any suggestions on finishing the installation?

                In file manager:

                you can either click on the folder which will open the folder or on the name of the folder.

                When you click on the name of the folder, Look at the top right of your screen. There is a little menu. Its really a list of links. They give you options such as:
                delete, rename, move, change permissions, etc.

                If you click on the change permissions for the file in question, you can change the permissions from 777 to 755 or vice versa.

                I suggest you change the permissions for the file in question to the appropriate permissions that you were mentioning. If your file has the appropriate permissions already, then there is another issue.

                I hope that helped.

                  There seems to be a different issue, then, because I tried both 755 and 777 and neither worked. The install.php file is there, but when I try to execute it (domain/fmp/install.php), there is an error still.

                        Did you chmod the install.php file to 755? Is the error a 500 error?

                            In the FMP folder, look for a file named .htaccess and delete it.
