Before you install. Listed folders in your Magento directory should be writable:

• app / code / community
• app / design / adminhtml / default / default / layout
• app / design / adminhtml / default / default / template
• app / design / frontend / default / default / layout
• app / design / frontend / default / default / template
• app / etc / modules
• app / locale / en_US
• app / locale / en_US / template / email
• js
• skin / frontend / default / default

Follow these steps for safe installation:

1. Disable compilation mode and Magento cache. Otherwise you may get errors when you return back to admin page.

2. Check Magento folder permissions. Make sure all Magento folders are writeable. You may execute "chmod -r 777 your_site_folder". If it doesn`t have required permissions some files from installation package may become missing.

Installation from .tgz package file

3. If you are using Magento 1.4 install Magento Connect Manager 2.0. Simply install it from this page. Otherwise it will not be possible to install extension from package file.

Go to Connect Manager and install extension from the .tgz package file.

Installation from .zip archive

3. Unpack .zip file contents. Copy WebFormsPro folder content to your Magento installation folder.

4. If you are using custom theme package copy WebForms template files to theme folders.

1) app / design / frontend / default / default / template / webforms -> app / design / frontend / ##CUSTOM THEME## / default / template /
2) app / design / frontend / default / default / layout / webforms.xml -> app / design / frontend / ##CUSTOM THEME## / default / layout / webforms.xml
3) skin / frontend / default / default / webforms -> skin / frontend / ##CUSTOM THEME## / default / webforms

5. Logout and login back to the admin panel. Otherwise Forms Settings will return 404 error.

6. Go to Forms Settings and insert reCaptcha public and private keys. It is required for reCpatcha to work.

7. Refresh Magento cache and re-index.

Web-forms Professional Edition is ready to use.

You can now run compilation process and enable compilation mode again.

Important! In order to use file upload function make sure media folder is writeable!

If you find this process difficult make sure you check Installation Service when you buy package or you can buy Installation Service separately.
