Hi. Joomla Gurus, i am having a trouble with perForms installation. Even when am doing it for the first time i, get amessage:
JInstaller::install: There is already a folder called ‘C:\wamp\www\SiteFolders\attain\administrator\components\com_performs\’. Please initially check whether:
• the Extension is already installed
• the file names in the XML file are spelled correctly
• there are no XML files listed inside the extension.xml file
• all of the files (not including XML files) are correctly listed in the extension.xml file and there are no duplicate entries
• there is an empty folder listed from a previous installation attempt

Component Install: Could not copy PHP install file.

Please how can i move out of this issue.

For anyone else having trouble getting perForms to work with SEF URLs, I got mine to work by changing /components/com_performs/performs.php around line 46 to:

$objMyForm->strAction = $PHP_SELF;

I am having the same problem that Mayank having. Not even this component. Infact all free form components are like this. What is the best form plugin which doesn’t give me trouble.

Did you check to see if there was in fact a folder there from a previous install? You should try and uninstall, and then remove the performs directories.

It looks like there’s a discussion on this in the Joomla forums:
