Things To Know Before Installation.

• Access to your shell account using SSH client. Your account should have enough rights to install new applications and run them. Usually only superuser (root) has such rights. That's why many shared hosting companies cannot provide this which makes RMS installation on such servers impossible.

• Make sure JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is installed on your server. If not, you should advise with your hosting provider support service or you can install it by yourself. You can download the distribution kit for JRE from the Sun company official site.

• Make sure you are able to run the following commands under your shell account:

  chmod
  chown
  nano (or vi)
  ps
  

• Make sure you have set appropriate PHP settings for uploading media files.

a) If PHP on your server is running in CGI mode, you need to create a php.ini file with the following contents:

upload_max_filesize=300M
post_max_size=300M
max_input_time=3000
max_execution_time=3000
memory_limit=128M

Then copy this file to the ray/modules/movie/files subfolder

b) If PHP on your server is running as Apache module, place this code in the .htaccess file which resides in the main Dolphin directory:

php_value upload_max_filesize 300M
php_value post_max_size 300M
php_value max_input_time 3000
php_value max_execution_time 3000
php_value memory_limit 128M

• You can also change some MySQL settings to prevent connection timeouts when uploading big files: Open the file ray/modules/global/inc/db.inc.php and insert the following commands

  mysql_query ("SET @@local.wait_timeout=9000;");
  mysql_query ("SET @@wait_timeout=9000;");
  mysql_query ("SET @@local.interactive_timeout=9000;");
  mysql_query ("SET @@interactive_timeout=9000;");
  mysql_query ("SET @@local.connect_timeout=9000;");
  mysql_query ("SET @@connect_timeout=9000;");
  
  

after the line

@mysql_select_db($this->sDb, $this->rLink);

The next step is RMS Installation.
