    Okay. My hosting company has phpFormGenerator, which I am trying to use.

    I enter all the info, give the form a name, and create a table. Presto.

    Then the trouble starts. When this screen comes up:

    **Ok, everything is fine.. generating form...Form created!

    Generating form processor...

    All Done!

    The form and the processor were created and placed in the 'forms' directory under the phpformgen's directory. You can reach it by clicking here. An administration portal was also created for managing your form records. It can be reached by clicking here.

    the link to the form works, but the admin portal recieves the following error:
    **Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@presentedforyou.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/1.3.39 Server at presentedforyou.com Port 80**

    When I fill out the form and click submit, I get the same error.

    This is extrememly frustrating, as I wanted to have this site released 2 days ago.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    David

      Obviously the quickest way for me to help would be to have access to your site but lets see if we can get you going. 
      In an email, send me a link to your form and a copy of your process.php file (cut and paste into the email). 
      It is likely there is just some mismatch in the way the process.php and admin are accessing the db you defined so let me know what selections you chose for the db (file or sql).

      OK, easy things first. 
      Your process.php file is not creating a db so the admin has nothing to look at.

      Next is the form submit error.  I’m not quite sure why this occurs because I have never seen it before.  This might be a permission error.  Try setting the file permissions to 664 instead of 777 or 755.  You can also ask your host how they prefer you set permissions for php files.  This php file should not produce the message you are seeing unless it is being interpreted as “html like”.

      "How do I fix the DB thing?"
      Easy if all you want is a file based db.  Not so easy if you want sql.  If you prefer sql then the best bet is to recreate the form.  I can give you add-in code to do the file based db.
