Re: My contact form

Don, you are missing some basic knowledge. Please read the tutorials about FTP use and File manager use.

CP is just a panel that allowes you to manage your website. You do not (ever) upload anything on your CP, you upload the files in your site.

FTP (the one which comes free with BV is called BlueFTP) is for File Transfer Protocol. Generally speaking, by FTP we mean some software that allowes to transer files from your computer to your site (upload) or from the site to your computer (download). When we say "FTP your files to the site" we mean "upload the files to the site".

The ABVFP files need to be uploaded on your site to work.
To acheive this, please follow these simple steps:

1. Open BV.
2. Click on Tools, > FTP Manager.
3. When BlueFTP open up, Click on Connect, provide your IP address, username and password (as you do when you publish) and click "Connect".
4. Blue FTP will connect to your site. The following is only valid if you have not yet created the "ABVFP" folder in your site: Right click in ANY white space in the right hand window, and select New Folder . In the popup type ABVFP . So a folder named ABVFP will be created on your site. Double click on the newly created folder (you will find it at the very bottom of the right hand window) to open it. Of course, it is still empty, so no content will appear in it.
5. Now browse the LEFT window (your computer content) to find the folder ABVFP where you have extracted the files of the zip. Select the folder, and it's content will appear. Select the files (all of them, but not the subfolders) and just drag them to the right window, inside the site ABVFP folder.
6. You can now go on with installing ABVFP according to the instructions.

Re: My contact form

Am I supposed to be uploading files on the CP or my site?
Am I even supposed to be in CP at this state of the tutorial? If not how do I get the File Manager to connect to my site? I've read the tutorial on ABVFP many time and each time I get a little more confused. Is there a simpler version anywhere?
I'm still not clear on uploading, how do it do it?

Re: My contact form

Yes, excactly. It says to upload the files you extracted from the zip into the ABVFP folder on your site.

Re: My contact form

I'm not familiar with ABVFP, but it's probably saying upload the files that you downloaded (The actual ABVFP files) to the website.

Re: My contact form

Thank you that was easy.
How about this one from the ABVFP tutorial. "Upload all the extracted files in this ABVFP folder". Are they talking about the ones in File Manager? If so how do I upload them into the ABVFP folder? If these aren't the ones which ones are?

Re: My contact form

You can change name or delete a file through the file manager in cPanel, or using a FTP

Re: My contact form

Before I go through your form I'd like to know if it will do what I want once I get it loaded. I don't want to pay for something that doesn't.
Will I be able to use a form on my home/index page?
Will the names and URL's I get on the form go into the database where I can work with them? Such as put them on a list to mail to. I specifically want to use it for list building and affiliate marketing.
I understand it costs $20 to load in on form. If I need more to do what I need done what am I looking at in cost?

Re: My contact form

I changed the permissions to what you said and nothing changed. I'm really getting tired of playing with this. What would you charge me to get this straightened out? I'm about ready to dump the whole thing so let me know ASAP.

Re: My contact form

probably a permissions issue with your folder. Connect with FTP and check the the permissions of the entire ABVFP folder as well as the permissions of the files in it. The folder should be 755 and the files 644. If they are not, manually change them to he correct.

Re: My contact form

What's problem now? I went through the installation instructions in the tutorial and when I put the link in the browser I got the word FORBIDDEN
saying I don't have permission to access /ABVFP/dbts_install.php on this server. There was also a 404 not found error.
