Joomla! 1.5.12
Breezing Forms 1.6.0

This is a new install of the component com_breezingforms_160.zip using the Joomla! Admin's Extensions : Install/Uninstall : Upload Package File.

After uploading and installing the zip file I got the following message:
I then uninstalled the component and set the public_html folder to 777 and tried the install again. This also returned a message, most likely because the target file, ff_secimage.php, now exists and could not be overwritten by the second attempt of the install script to alter/create the file. Here's the message:


After returning the public_html to 755 I took a look at the two files: ff_secimage_index.php and ff_secimage_template.php; the ff_secimage.php file that ended up in public_html is an exact copy of the ff_secimage_index.php file but does not contain the one line from the ff_secimage_template.php file.


Do I need to add that one line at the end of the ff_secimage.php file or do something else in order to finalize the install?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

you should do just what is described there, then it will be ok.

And check your folder's permissions. It is a lead that something might be wrong.

Ah, now I see what I missed (my bad); two different folders with the same filename:

public_html/ff_secimage.php
and
public_html/templates/system/ff_secimage.php

I set the public_html and public_html/templates/system/ to 777 and then ran the install without issue. I then set them back to 755.

Then I ran into another permission issue when I tried to complete the configuration:

I had to set the 777 on /public_html/components/com_facileforms/ in order for the confugration to complete without an error message.

What I don't understand is why those folders need to be set to 777 for the script to be able to install properly. I don't want to use Fantastico because I want to keep permission control of the folders and files. I thought the ftp settings for Joomla! were supposed to take care of this permission issue ... and maintain the web user account's control of the folders and files and not necessitate the need for the server to control the folders and files. Is that not the case?

I have also experience the exact same issues with my latest project. Is there something we're missing?

Hi Synergyaust,

What version of BreezingForms are you using?

Thanks,
