some questions - andylorenz - May 3rd, 2016
Hello world...
I'm starting to give a look at the tool...
it seems incredibile... very impressive...
i think is the best thing-form i have seen... i hope i don't have problem to use... because i like a lot...
I have some questions...
1) I think i have the right mysql under server linux (i'm testing it in a space i have for try the things, i think i have mysql 5 here), but the istallation say the mysql is no good... ths sound not nice for me...
i continued istallation and it seem it work even though i had this hopeless damn message...
i have try a form and check it... it seem it works fine...
i have in the view my report... etc... it's perfect...
the question is... how can i be sure everything is ok? no surprise for me?
if my test form work it means i'm ok? because i don't know the reason of the message in the beginning... i'm quite sure my mysql is over 4... this is very strange for me...
2) i have tried to put a file with the upload field.. for test the function...
now... it finished in upload inside the folder of the tool...
the questions are:
can i put the entire tool folder where i want?
how can i solve people don't have to look the upload folder...
teoriccaly if you know the link in the url you can see the files...
this is something i would change... i mean... is it possbile to put the files... chose a folder in some way people can't open it from a url?
(i think the problem could be i have everything in a public web folder... )
sorry for questions... i don't have many skill for this things...
tks who answer...

Partial reply:
1) Requirements (is in the docs)
http://docs.formtools.org/userdoc2_1/?page=system_requirements
2) i copied the whole path of scuola.ome.ch to scuolatest.ome.ch and it works (try it in a browser).
I use Ubuntu server and the path is /var/www/vhosts/domain/subdomain ar similiar.
But they are in the same physical server. Can imagine, that there are problems copiing the whole content to another server cause of different php/mysql settings and in addition you have to copy the database as well.

this is the strange things...
php i have 5.5, but i can set also newer...
mysql i have 5 i think because there is php myadmin 3522 by default that want the mysql 5 or newer...
the server is under linux...
so i think i'm perfectly in the configuration you need... teorically is everything newer than you need ... pheraps this is the problem...
i don't know... it seem it work after the istallation...
i think i wll try to build 3 or 4 form and submit them for be more sure...

to be sure, try
mysql --version
in the command line to exactely know what version number of mysql you have
