Hi I'm on bluehost, and they offer your phpFormGenerator - which I clicked on - and it was installed. I then read your install sheet from sourceforge and clicked on the /forms/ directory - went about changing the permissions to 777 - but here's the error I got when I tried to open the index.php to create the form:
There were a bunch of files in the form directories - and I couldn't tell what I should change to 777 and which I should leave alone. According to the error message - bluehost "fixed the files" but that really doesn't help me get the form generator open so I can create my form. Could you offer some advice here?
thanks,
Milt Lee
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have never found the permissions of 777 to be necessary although it does solve problems with some hosts.
Here is what I suggest:
.php files
These should only require 744, and 755 in some cases.
.gif or any other graphics file
These should only require 744.
.htm or .html files
These should only require 744.
folders
These should require 777 unless your host has placed other restrictions.
