Wont auto install - paulinvicta - Jul 2nd, 2017
I have uplaoded files to my ftp server and eventually got the files to appear on a web browser under my domain/formtools.
I have a list of files, but no configuration page is showing up. Should I open a specific file to get the thing to work?

It should go directly to the installation script when you visit the folder on your web browser. Can you double check all of the files were uploaded correctly?
RE: Wont auto install - paulinvicta - Jul 2nd, 2017
Just deleted all files and re-installed basic files only. Same thing web browser showed directory of files as follows:
Index of /public_html/FormTools_cb61
Name Size Date Modified
[parent directory]
formtools/ 02/07/2017, 16:51:00

check the file permision is that a rar file? extrat then adjust the file permissions you will have that ready in not time
RE: Wont auto install - paulinvicta - Jul 2nd, 2017
Just changed all permissions in public directory and the whole of formtools folder to 777. Still just getting the folder list showing in the browser. I'm sure I'm missing something easy. What you see are the list of folders and you can go into these to get more folders. Should I go into the "install" folder?

This is the folder structure:

RE: Wont auto install - paulinvicta - Jul 2nd, 2017
it is not a rar file-all files have been unzipped
RE: Wont auto install - paulinvicta - Jul 2nd, 2017
to summarise:
1. Downloaded from formtoools
2. Unzipped files
3. Uploaded to my server host provider using File Zilla and saved them under the "public" directory which is the parent directory in tree list above.
4. Changed permissions to public directory and the formtolls folder and all sub directories.
5. paste the url of the "formtools" into a web browser and just get the directory list of folders/files.
As I say, I'm probably doing something stupid.

Hosting company told my I should be pastig the url of the actual file-NOT the folder as per the installation guide. Any pointers where this file is?
RE: Wont auto install - alexh - Jul 3rd, 2017
If you uploaded all of the files to the folder "formtools", you should be able to go to http://yourdomain.com/formtools and start the installation process. The actual file that will bring up is http://yourdomain.com/formtools/index.php
