Re: installation wizard

I'm not sure what you mean.

The download location for ABVFP is only my site, at http://www.dbtechnosystems.com/free_abvfp.php

The link you provided would be the installation wizard script on your site (if you have uploaded the files in there)

Re: installation wizard

Yes, this is the installation wizard that you have in the installation instructions. I type in the above and i get an error message. looks like a link problem. i cannot install as i cannot get the wizard to come up.
thanks again, Mrmagoo144

Re: installation wizard

I have already downloaded ABVFP file to my Blue Voda file and ftp to the server. i already had the database set up and i know that is correct as it worked before. as i said i had difficulty with my computor so i had to re download the ABVFP program.

Re: installation wizard

The download link is the one i provided. Even if your computer lost it's content, ABVFP should still exist on your site. However, i can not find a ABVFP folder on your site.

Re: installation wizard

hello naval;
i have just returned and saw your post. i looked in my site and see ABVFP folder with all it's contents on the server. it is a folder inside public_html. now you say you can't see it. should i just delete the folder from the site that i see and re upload? or do i just start from the beginning.
thanks, mrmagoo144

ps i had made some forms already using abvfp form processor, but now when i want to do it on my new computor or the old one, i get the error message "not linking"

Re: installation wizard

Here is your ABVFP installation wizard: http://www.videopostcards.info/abvfp/dbts_install.php

I could not find it because you have named the folder abvfp instead of ABVFP as i suggest in the tutorial. No, you don't need to re-upload, just install it (it is not installed)

Re: installation wizard

thanks Naval, should i rename it ABVFP?
and how do i install it?
sorry if i sound dumb
takes me a couple of times to catch on then i rock
i do see a great program here, but a little intimidated by it at first

Re: installation wizard

Please read the installation and usage instructions contained in the zip.

Re: installation wizard

ok i think i have it now but do you want me to rename my folder?

Re: installation wizard

It is not necessary but would be wise. Otherwise, all the links in my tutorial, and also in the standard form setup, which refer to a folder called "ABVFP" will have to be edited accordingly.

Re: installation wizard

ok will rename it and thanks, wish me luck. i will send you a link once i have completed the form
