For some reason, I can't seem to create a bonfire module using the "existing" table option. Earlier, it wasn't even displaying the list of fields from my database table when I selected the option to use existing table vs. creating a new one. BUt I figured out that it was a permissions thing and so as a test I did the following:
chmod -R 777 /var/www/myapp
Now, it is querying the database and displaying all the correct fields from the table but when I click on the build button, it just keeps redisplaying the same form.
what I've done so far:
- I created a test database in my database with just 2 fields. I tried to create a module using that table... but I get the same results.
- I've ensured that all my tables are prefixed with "bf_". If they weren't, the system wouldn't be able to find and list all the correct fields... I think.
- I've tested creating a new module using a new table. That seems to work just fine. Bonfire creates a new table in my database without any issues and also creates the correct folder structure for the module.
- I've tried to ensure that all fields have a proper name validation rules specified. In most cases, I just accepted defaults and tried to click on build.
- changed logging settings to log everything. but after trying to create a module and going back to the logs, there's nothing listed.
If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Figured out how the profiler works - i didn't realize that you had to click on the flame icon on the bottom left corner of the screen.
