Dolphin 7 install problem

I have tried installing Dolphin 7 several times and always get the same error. When I get to the end if the install, Permissions Reversal, I click Skip and get the following message:

Warning: require_once(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/~hotliaso/inc/security.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/hotliaso/public_html/inc/header.inc.php on line 172

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/~hotliaso/inc/security.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/hotliaso/public_html/inc/header.inc.php on line 172

I can see the file inc/security.inc.php on the server, why am I getting this error? During the install all the file permissions were fine according to the installer (all green)

thanks for your help.

T o me its looks some is searching for this path: (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php')

I don't get why you click on skip and not next.

Shouldn't the paths all be correct since the flash installer sniffs them out automatically?

I have tried clicking on both Next and Skip, same results both ways.

Has anyone else had this problem?

have you tried setting the inc folder to 777, then retry the install? Maybe the folder has already had it's access removed preventing you from continuing. Someone pointed out yesterday that removing access to this folder before you finish the install will cause this. Reenable the folder, finish the install, then reset the permissions once you have removed the install folder.

Yes, I tried that. When I get to the Permissions reversal the only folder that needs reversed is the inc folder, I just skip it. I've even deleted the files, deleted the database and started from scratch several times.

I also am getting an error from cronjobs:

/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/~hotliaso/periodic: No such file or directory
Could not open input file: cron.php

Got any ideas?

 Well, I'm no coder but I think the actual cron.php needs to be in that line.

Mine looks like this....   /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/localhost/www/periodic/cron.php

It doesn't look like that in the cron job, it looks like this:

cd /usr/local/apache/htdocs/~hotliaso/periodic; /usr/local/bin/php -q cron.php

It's what the flash installer said to put in.

after playing with this for a few weeks I'm beginning to lose confidence in it. If it has this many problems on install, how hard will it be to keep running?

In inc/header.inc.php make sure that

$dir['root']=

/home/hotliaso/public_html/

Not

/usr/local/apache/htdocs/~hotliaso/

Dave...

Your cron job should look like

cd /home/hotliaso/public_html/periodic; /usr/local/bin/php -q cron.php

or

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/hotliaso/public_html/periodic/cron.php

Dave..

do not click skip. try this for giggles, chmod 555 ./inc and see what that gets you?

I had the same problem until I changed the permission of the Inc directory to 555 that allowed me to finish the install. Now I just have a cron problem. LOL
