Hello World....

I'm new (hours old) with Dolphin and so far I am impressed with the possibilities. It did take me two tries to get it successfully installed on GoDaddy shared hosting, but after upgrading to PHP5 it seems to be working wonderfuly... except when I try to view my profile. I get the Not Found error with apache giving me the excuse that "profile.php was not found on this server."

Everything else works fine. I did some looking in this forum and noticed a few others had the same problems... but no CLEAR as far as I can tell. Here is the contents of my htacess:

#######################

I noticed the last rewriterule: "" RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)$ profile.php?ID=$1 [QSA,L] ""

If there anything I am overlooking?

Thank you in advance.

I was browsing around getting familiar with Dolphin and noticed I got the same 404 error when I select articles. "mysite/articles.php Not Found" is the error I get. Thought maybe it would help someone get an idea of what is causing this. Same with classifieds.php

Checked file permissions on those files, but they seem correct.

permalinks and mod_rewrite. send a support ticket to godaddy and i think you will be surprised at their answer. there is nothing wrong with the script. it is the server you are on. were you able to read the server minimum requirements prior to seeking out your hosting for this script?

Technical Requirements ¶

Dolphin requires the following pre-requisites for your server:

• Linux/Unix (Red Hat, Debian, FreeBSD, Mandrake, etc.) or Windows OS, Apache Web Server

• Ability to run executable files (necessary for ffmpeg.exe)

• root SSH access (necessary for RMS installation)

• PHP 4.3.6 and higher (register_globals must be Off, safe_mode must be Off, exec() must be allowed and allow_url_fopen also must be On) with mbstring, domxml and xsl extensions (they are required to run Orca forum and support UTF-8)

• MySQL 4.1.2 and higher

• GD library compiled with TrueType fonts (for photo processing) or ImageMagick as an alternative

• Sendmail or Postfix

• shell or another interface for setting Cron Jobs

• 20MB of disk space and 1MB of MySQL DB space for installation

• 8MB of disk space and 50KB of MySQL DB space for an average user

Otherwise you will not be able to install and operate Dolphin properly.

i have seen only one or two get their site running on a godaddy dedicated box, and dont know of any who have it running on a shared box.

send a support ticket and ask them is mod_rewrite is enabled, also ask them about your .htaccess, you may have to create php.ini files

later,

DosDawg
