    Hello --

    I am getting this error:
    Sorry. In order to use the administration portal you must use the MySQL or file-based database option.

    On Step 4, I choose Create data fle, insert data to MYSQL no, create new table no, and then provide a new table name.

    What did I do wrong?

      select "Create data file", say "no" to "insert data to MySQL" and leave the rest as is. Do not say "no" to create new table and do not provide a table name. Just leave those fields alone.
      see if that fixes your problem.

      I tried it to no avail.  Here is my link:
      http://freedom2learn.com/phpformtest/process2.php

      It creates the form, yet when I go to the "here" link for the admin portal, I get the same error.

      I noticed that the admin portal is v2.0.  Would this be a cause?  I installed v2.9b.

      OK, I noticed that someone went in and created a new form (sampleform) on my site.  It works great! 

      Now I think I am crazy.  I went in to create a new form and I get the same error.  What settings did you choose to make the sampleform work?

      Hi,

      Could someone go to this link, phptest.freedom2learn.com and get the admin portal to work for the flat file option?  I am getting a bit frustrated at not knowing what I am doing wrong.

      I tried the suggestion above, but the same error occurs.

      I am grateful for any help.

      Just for future users reference:

      This problem, while rare, can be caused due to a file not offically closing, and therefore the updates are not posted to the file. The problem exists in process3.php and will be fixed in future versions of the application.
