Install and upgrade; patch vs fresh

Having completed a couple of installs with Dolphin v6.1.1 and being nervous to use the patches on one of the LIVE sites, I opted to try a FRESH, CLEAN or NEW install (however you want to label it) for another site.

I downloaded the latest complete zipped version (at the time) of Dolphin v 6.1.3; the patch v 6.1.4 came on the day I was to install and I added that after the initial error detailed below.

After install there was a "language compiling" error, which stated that it failed. Also when in Admin and clicking on Modules, Orca...it went to a directory tree and to get to the place where you can compile the languages, I had to click on the index.php link.

After several days of frustration with this, I decided to delete V6.1.3 from server and to re-install V6.1.1 and perform each patch upgrade.

Yes, it was quite a few steps to perform and patience.

BUT, after completing all upgrades...the site is now running error free (on the surface). And the language compile error never occured.

FYI: It appears that something was left out of the V6.1.3 zip.

	have you tried to just do a fresh install of 6.1.4? and take a look at this when and if you get ready to do a new install~~~~ http://www.expertzzz.com/Downloadz/view/3861 mod that changes all the File permissions for you if you are one those who dont have shell or wouldnt know what to do with it if you had it. later, DosDawg Sammie helped me get this squared away its a treet thats for sure.

	Yes I also now use a php file created by a very cool dude...Heath. It changes the permissions automatically....I think that the download for this is at www.christianatlanta.com/automatesettingpermissions-dolphin.zip What a godsend....no pun intended.
