Softaculous does work
There as a recent post with a glaring title regarding Softaculous auto-installer issues. I juts wanted to let people know that the info posted there is absolutely wrong and doesn't have anything to do with the facts. Here is why:
1 Permissions issue
"If suPHP is enabled, there is an option on Softaculous to set permissions to 0755. Auto detection of suPHP is not always possible, so it's recommended that you adjust these settings in the Softaculous Admin Panel settings." - Softaculous Team
2 Crons issue
CronJobs are set up properly, and it was checked not only by Softaculous (we have official confirmation of this) but by other hosting companies that we are partnering with.
So, the Softaculous auto-installer works properly, and in case you have any issues, first of all, check the Dolphin technical requirements and if your server is configured properly. If everything else is ok, you are welcome to report he issues to your hosting provider.
The post owner was requested to check the installation once again and to update his post to let all of you know where the issue was exactly. Most probably it is a server configuration problem, so we are waiting for his updates.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
May I however suggest that:
1) If possible, a bit more descriptive title because it's not about "hello", and...
2) Maybe a bit less cracking down so hard on people who try to help, as "absolutely wrong and doesn't have anything to do with the facts" isn't exactly a way to promote unity and a cordial atmosphere among members. Give people a bit of credit and don't talk to them like they are a bunch of ignoramuses when they see more

please affirm this with Arvixe, that is where the issue was realized at, and their servers are not running suphp. Cron jobs were not being created, and there were several issues with permissions. It was even reported to Arvixe prior to posting that there were problems, and the issues were confirmed with Arvixe support staff, who said that it had been reported to Softaculous.
So if you have futher information from the time i posted this issue, then please share the information, because see more
Given the bug track record here, for all we know it may have been a lucky coincidence that the auto-installer worked somewhere, and the experience reported by DosDawg, dolphin_jay and others may well reflect an issue that has been overlooked by the developers.
Therefore, support staff aren't generally see more
do you really want to go here, because i can prove you wrong on so many levels its not funny. do you think you have what it takes to try me?
I dont think you nor any other can ever prove me wrong on any post i present. so check yourself.

@ CodeSatori and mybellavista
I'm sorry for confusion with the title… I was out of the city for several days but sent a post text to one of my colleagues and asked him to post it but totally forgot about the post title.. So it was posted with the first word in the post as a title, my fault.
@ buckmcgoo,
Somebody uses this username to post only negative comments doesn't matter where and which theme, the purpose is a negative comment to confuse Unity members and new buyers and, as see more
If you tell someone that what he "posted there is absolutely wrong and doesn't have anything to do with the facts", you can expect people to be upset, especially if you aren't categorically 100% right (as the case here is). Basically the (public) message you send to DosDawg is that "you don't have a clue about this". This is particularly troublesome in situations where the person who's see more

Yes, probably you are right and I'm really sorry for this.. English isn't my native language ((( and I didn't want to offend DosDawg . My apologies to DosDawg.
As I said, Softaculous were testing hard the auto-installer these days and found another issue which wasn't reported yet. Anyway, they fixed it and advised to update the Softaculous package.

If you are using or were using or going to use the auto-installer to have Dolphin installed and faced with any issue feel see more
Have been back and forth with the host (hostforweb) and they told me there were no cron jobs set up, the ffmpeg.exe settings were incorrect also. This is with the autoinstaller which I chose as am not so quick to work things out myself when it comes to scripts!
Still got problems, cannot upload videos, now can but they only show 1-2 seconds of length, not the whole thing...
Not sure if see more
You might be running out of memory or they are just killing the command before it completes.
Not getting anywhere at the moment, had 7 different support team dealing with one ticket over 2 days. Something makes me think Im dealing with a call centre and not a 'team' who know the host and software...
Either way, Ive been told that changes have had to be made to the softaculous install to get things working. Even though they still are not!...
Don't worry about it. I understand the language barrier, and having lived among diverse cultures, I am also not an alien to very diverging basic understandings of things that others will be offended by. It's just a hurdle to cross, and as long as one is aware that there's work to be done in improving our exchanges with others (don't we all have some), it'll be reflected in everything you say, and go down more smooth.
A good rule of thumb for situations where there's a disagreement see more
