6.- When finish, then I start the tricky part: I need to write down the name of the form. Then, I go to my cpanel file manager, and change the permisions to the following files:
a) Set /phpform/ directory permisions to 755.
b) Set permissions to 755 on phpform/process.php . Do the same to process2.php, fields.php and del_form.php (I need to do this only once)
c) On phpform/use/name-of-my-form/, set permision to 755 to process.php
d) On phpform/use/name-of-my-form/admin, set permision to 755 to index.php, index.php, delete_file.php and printer_friendly.php
e) Finally, I want to password protect the admin site (http://www.name of yoursite.com/phpform) and I do with Cpanel option "password protect directories".
f) I cant do this if I never view the error log on cpanel, so this will be another thing to watch in case of errors.
I know this is only a workaround and may not work for all, but I hope this make available more knowledge about how PHPformgen works.
I hope it helps.

Sorry for my bad english, Im still learning :-P
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I made a big mistake when password protect the phpform directory, because the forms actually reside in another subdirectory inside, and then every time someone want to use the form, need to write the password. So, Im still searching for a solution, because I dont want someone who can acces my phpform/index.php and delete my forms.....:-(

After many, many attempts, I want to announce that PHPformgen finally is working on my site!
First, I need to RTFM to realize my mistakes.
There is my process:
1.- Download the PHPformgen from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=45605&package_id=122227&release_id=270273
2.- Unninstall the previous version with Fantastico.
3.- Unzip and upload all the files to phpform directory (I use ftp access with internet explorer 6)
4.- Go to http://www.name of yoursite.com/phpform
5.- Make the form as you wish (again, RTFM!)
6.- When finish, then I start the tricky part: I need to write down the name of the form. Then, I go to my cpanel file manager, and change the permisions to the following files:
a) Set /phpform/ directory permisions to 755.

Ok Im happy again...
Every step is okay but I need to do one more:
Move the directories under phpform/use to another location. In this way there can not be deleted from your phpform/index.php, and still work ok.
Keep up the good work, Musawir!
