Fixing Magento extension Web-forms for upgrade from 1.4.1.0 to 1.6.2.0

Upgrade as follows:

Unzip magneto162.zip to magento folder

cp -R magento/* .

edit php.ini - add a server timeout of 5000.

rm -rf var/cache
rm -rf var/session
rm -rf var/locks

load up index.php page and database upgrade will happen. If you get the foreign key error, then run the script again.

login to admin

Use magento connect to install Web-forms extension.

rm -rf var/cache
rm -rf var/session
rm -rf var/locks

Check that the admin component works.

Copy the webforms template and XML files from the default template to the template used.

clear the cache again.

NOTE: this took hours to work out!!!
