Dolphin7 Install Godaddy

Hey guys.  I took a break from dolphin6 and I am looking forward to setting up 7.  I can't seem to make it into the module installation however.  I am not sure if the server is CGI or Apache...how do I check this?  I remember commenting out a lot of stuff before when I installed 6 just to get it to install.  But I need to do this one right.

Warning: require_once(/.../inc/security.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in/.../inc/header.inc.php on line 172

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/.../inc/security.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in/.../inc/header.inc.php on line 172

When I add the code to the htaccess in the dolphin root, I get an internal server error.

i have seen this error when there was a misconfigured path in the header.inc.php there are two lines that need to be edited. but if this is a fresh install, then i havent seen this on an installation. i would say commenting out anything on this installer would be a bad idea. the better suggestion here would be to get the fork away from godaddy. they are not the best place to host this type of application. you will face more headache trying to get it setup and running than its actually worth.

thanks man, I think I will take your advice.  what host do you recommend for this?

I agree. Godaddy is not where you want to host dolphin.

I recommend Terabyte-Hosting.com. This is where i have my sites.

DosDawg owns it. He does not normally recommend himself so i will on his behalf.

i am curious to know why Godaddy cannot host this well.  i'd really like to use it since I already have paid for it.  does anyone know why it doesn't support dolphin well?  otherwise i will set something else up.

To much difficulty getting it setup to meet all of the dolphin requirements. Godaddy has hundreds of servers and not all consistent on how they are configured. Some people have had no problems getting it setup, others can't and the reasons vary. You will get varying answers to this question because of that lack of consistency.

I have a godaddy account myself and have been successful getting Dolphin 6 to run only once, and have not been able to D7 to run at all. And i have not yet determined the reason why it won't run. So i only use my godaddy account for simple sites running simple scripts. I use terabyte for my dolphin sites.

I see.  Thanks for your advice.  It's just weird that the GoDaddy tech says that it meets dolphin's requirements.  I must be missing something in my php config.  I have a php5.ini in my host root.  I have also tried the two lines in the htaccess.  Can't afford two hosts at the moment and migrating over is a hassle.  Almost makes me want to consider another community solution, especially considering what I have read about D7 and its CPU spikes.

Doesn't prolaznik have web hosting with GoDaddy?

One of my test site's hosted with GoDaddy. There hasn't been a problem except for the slow speed.

yes he does, but i think its on some kind of grid configuration. of the 30 or so that i have moved from GoDaddy, not a single one of them were successful in setting up Dolphin 6 or 7 on those servers. I have never tried, therefore, i have no real idea what the reasoning is. howefever, i can say this, as per the developers recommendation, you should be on a VPS minimum or Dedicated. Just so happens, you can host on a shared platform if that environment has been configured to comply with the requirements of Dolphin.

i would venture to say that the servers with Godaddy are configured for global hosting and not specific to any software. As for what you have heard or read about Dolphin 7, i will reach out to you on that one, and say that Dolphin 7 is solid, however, its not for the lame at heart. by far the greatest social networking application released on the internet in the last ten years, and advancing forward.

thanks Deano, i just tend to state the factuals of the inquiry. I am battling an install now for a fella from Argentina, who was told the servers were configured to run dolphin.

first issue 500 Error

second issue

no XSLT

guess what, it aint happening, just headaches.

@Ambassador

you mention "when i add the code to the htaccess in the dolphin root, i get an internal server error." what code are you specifically referring to here, and have you fired a ticket to GoDaddy to ask them to read the logs when you get the 500 error, this could be something that was faced by me previously in that they have phpsuexec enabled, and that creates some problems sometimes for Dolphin.

DosDawg

PS im gonna look and see if i have a free hosting account on GoDaddy, which i am sure i do have, and i want to try to install dolphin there, but i would venture to say it will be painful without SSH. there are just some utilities a man cant do without.

can you send me your header.inc.php file so i can see what is missing there? i had this problem when moving or changing domains.

yes he does and the site works just fine....
rms = no
ssh = yes
but note there are many users here that for some reason couldn't install dolphin on goddy......and some never made it past the welcome/install screen
i have installed d6 and just about every d7 RC + beta versions and never had any problems

windows hosting ?..

hey prozac,

any chance of getting a copy of your local and remote php.ini as well as anything you have done to your htaccess?

i think i am going to try to install this on godaddy, just as a test example.

DosDawg

i actually only wish to see 2 lines

23 $site['url'] = "your sites down";

39 $dir['root'] ="/your/site/root/";

php.ini   setting 
you should rename it to php5.ini and have only one in root

[Zend]

default  htaccess that's provided with d7 i only added the following code

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-httpd-php

23 would be
$site['url']               = "http://net-zabava.com/";

39
$dir['root']               = "/home/content/xx/xxxxxx/html/";

Wow guys, appreciate the attention...You know what's funny is that I actually have an old D6 test site still running on this shared account (LINUX).

When I mentioned the code in the htaccess file, this was what I meant:

php_flag register_globals Off
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc On
php_flag allow_url_fopen On
php_flag allow_url_include Off
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
php_value short_open_tag On

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

register_globals=Off
magic_quotes_gpc=On
allow_url_fopen=On
allow_url_include=Off
upload_max_filesize=300M
post_max_size=300M
max_input_time=3000
max_executi alt=3000
memory_limit=128M
short_open_tag=On
file_uploads = On	

ok you cant have the php_flags on your htacce

php_flag register_globals Off
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc On
php_flag allow_url_fopen On
php_flag allow_url_include Off
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
php_value short_open_tag On

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

register_globals=Off
magic_quotes_gpc=On
allow_url_fopen=On
allow_url_include=Off
upload_max_filesize=300M
post_max_size=300M
max_input_time=3000
max_executi alt=3000
memory_limit=128M
short_open_tag=On
file_uploads = On	

if you kill the .htaccess rename it to something like .htaccess_old, then see if the 500 Error goes away.

if it does, then those php_flag declarations need to be removed

DosDawg

use the apache directives prozac has provided, you see he has no php_flags in his htaccess.

Regards,

DosDawg

i modified mine to match.  i compared yours to my old htaccess backup from a couple years ago and it looks the same.  even with the php_flags out, if I add anything into the htaccess, it instantly gives me 500 internal server error.  if I leave it, I can get up to modules and when I hit next after making inc unwritable, I get internal server error (in IE)...in Chrome it actually takes me back to the first install button.

one thing to note is that this isn't the root on my server. i don't have an htaccess in the root, only a php5.ini.  then in the dolphin root I have the provided htaccess.  should i try to recopy that php5.ini into all the sub directories?  just did a fresh install.

if I change the hosting root php5.ini to php.ini, i am able to regenerate the line 172 error.

can you get godaddy to look at the logs and see what is going on? if they told you they were configuration compatible, then they should be able to provide you with a little information as to why its not working.

Regards,

DosDawg

don't laugh...I had the bloody install path wrong!  

thanks for helping me guys...i appreciate it!

Lmao

hey, we have to laff, thats whats it all about is troubleshooting, and when we are running buck nekkid with limited or no real information, then we have to take shots in the dark.

its all good, lesson learned. now when you get ready for your RMS, give me a holla!

Regards,

DosDawg

lol...alrighty.  thanks guys!

still can't figure out why my cron jobs are telling me...

<f alt="red">register_globals is On (warning, you should have this param in Off state, or your site will unsafe)</font> <br /> <f alt="red">PHP version too old, please update to PHP 5.2.0 at least</font> <br /> <f alt="red">mbstring extension not installed. <b>Warning!</b> Dolphin cannot work without <b>mbstring</b> extension.</font> <br /> Please go to the <br /> <a href="http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/GenDolTShooter">Dolphin Troubleshooter</a> <br /> and solve the problem.

My server says that mbstring is enabled and that register globals are off.   Weird.  I'll keep playing with it.

Hostmonster is a good hosting but they don't allow RMS >> Ray Media Server so that's why is suck

I want to stream video, chat and much more but still looking for better hosting can allow RMS Go Daddy is good but totally suck for Dolphin 7.0

Terabyte Hosting Solutions provides RMS with it's web hosting packages for Dolphin. I believe JoomByte does, as well.

My server says that mbstring is enabled and that register globals are off.   Weird.  I'll keep playing with it.

It would appear that the cron daemon is processing cron jobs against the system's PHP configuration, which appears to lack the proper configuration and extensions required for the software to work correctly. You may be able to configure your cron job to run against a local php.ini file.

Wat about HostGator

Unless you're going with their VPS or dedicated web hosting packages (if they even offer dedicated, I know they offer telephone numbers with their shared web hosting packages, though...), you won't find any RMS with them to my knowledge.

This seems right on...do you know how I would do this?  I don't think I need to utilize the RMS, what features will I be missing out on?  THanks guys!

http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/topic/Troubleshooting-Crons-Videos-Migrations-RMS.htm

This should explain everything regarding the cron job and how to configure it. Without the RMS, you will not be able to use audio/video communication in the chat and messenger applications, along with not being able to record media on the web site, and I also believe you cannot use the boards application.

Why dolphin 7.0 need to have Ray Media Server to share videos or stream why can be like a normal script like

Vbulletin

IPB

wordpress something like that i think this make Dolphin suck because the real hosting people the you can trust they Don't have ray media server my question they don't

I said audio/video communication, as in audio and video messaging in the chat and messenger application. You do not need the RMS for standard video and audio sharing, but you will not be able to record such media directly onto the web site (but you may still upload or embed media).

Just because the web hosting provider has limitations, doesn't mean it's the software's fault. Dolphin requires to some degree specialized web hosting, or at least the ability to have decent control over your configuration (such as PHP configuration). Not many carry complimentary RMS with their web hosting packages, which means you will either have to host it yourself (if you have a VPS or dedicated web hosting package) or purchase stand-alone RMS hosting, in the event such a complimentary service is not provided.

I always try to make it known that you must invest money into web hosting for this software: nickel hosts that cost the price of a Happy Meal aren't going to cut it. Believe it or not, many of the web hosting providers recommended by BoonEx are one of the worst choices you could make, and they simply are not recommended by any of us.
