I’ve gone through the process of installing freeform twice and everything seems to have gone well except the last bit. The form appears in the modules on the Control Panel. Click install and I get this error message: unable to locate the files needed to install this module. Among the modules on the server, freeform alone has this question mark - ? for type and 0.0 for size. Wondering what I’m missing. Some ideas will be helpful.

It seems that you did not install it correctly after all. Please uninstall via the module panel, and delete

/system/modules/freeform/mcp.freeform.php and
/
system/modules/freeform/mod.freeform.php

from your system. Then download the latest version, unzip, upload and install. Follow the instructions. It should say version “2.5.2” now in your module panel.

It’s me again. I’ve uninstalled and gone through installation again. No luck. Below is the structure of my files:

1.

home / public_html / [system] / Freeform2.5.2[1]

2.

home / public_html / [system] / modules / Freeform2.5.2

My system is renamed *beep*. I first transfered the files to *beep* and the first line is how it looks on the server dashboard.

I then copied the file to the modules directory and got the second line.

Both lines have these files:

mcp.freeform.php
mod.freeform.php
index.html

I thought this should work fine but didn’t. Maybe I’m mistaken somewhere. I can’t wait to use Freeform. What else can I do when you have people describing it as awesome. Please help.

My EE build is 1.5.2

mozzaic, this is a bit above and beyond the call of duty, but I am prepared to take a look at your server if you want me to—probably easier thtat way. If you want to take me up on that, send me FTP, and if you have it, SSH login information via PM or email.

Actually, there are issues I see from here.

home / public_html / [system] / Freeform2.5.2[1]

generally means that there are two directories now, Freeform2.5.2 and Freeform2.5.2[1]. You might want to delete one.

home / public_html / [system] / modules / Freeform2.5.2

That is wrong. It should just read

home / public_html / [system] / modules / freeform

You might want to go into home / public_html / [system] / modules / Freeform2.5.2 and move everything in there up one level.
