 * Hi there,
    I was looking for a lightweight contact plugin and I tried Formidablke
   on my home set up (easyPHP) where it worked fine.
 * However, when I try to activate it on [my “public” site](http://jeanmichel.cazaux.free.fr/site-tb34/)(
   still WIP), it fails with the following error:
 * `Fatal error: FrmFormsController::require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening
   required '' (include_path='/mnt/132/sdd/e/5/jeanmichel.cazaux/include:.:/usr/
   php5/lib/php') in /mnt/132/sdd/e/5/jeanmichel.cazaux/site-tb34/wordpress/wp-content/
   plugins/formidable/classes/controllers/FrmFormsController.php on line 344`
 * I vaguely tried to echo the name of the required file, but to no avail…
 * Any idea what I can do?
 * Many thanks in advance.
    Jean-Michel

 * Try reinstalling since it sounds like you are missing a file.

 * Hi,
    I tried that but it did not work better, still having the same error.
 * Any idea how I could echo the name & path of that file ?
 * Thanks
