Installation help

Hello,

I am trying to install Dolphin 6.1 and I have installed PHP-5#. When i enter "http://localhost/install/index.php. I get blank screen. Nothing is happening. I have installed MYSQL and setup the database as well. I have ApacheServer 2.2 running in my system. i have Windows XP.

Can you please help me to guide thru the installation with your kindness?

When you enter "http://localhost/install/index.php." are you replacing local host with your sites url?

I tried that as well, but its same thing.

From my apache erro. log i have following error

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in C:\\xxxx\\install\\index.php on line 541

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in C:\\xxxx\\install\\index.php on line 541

Send that error to your host, they will fix it for you.

I am hosting site from my local PC right now.

I just re-installed PHP newer version and restarted my apache server. I am getting little further now. Installation have started.

Now, i have path check error. I have installed PHP and have provided the path, but it is still complaining. I am not sure why.

I am installing it on windows so, i provide path as C:\PHP, but it complains.

Regards,

I have passed all the settings, and now i have another blank screen at cron job. I am using windows. Am I missing anything?

to install dolphin locally the simplest is to do with xampp

you will not need to install your own PHP or MYSQL

Daniel,

I have installed PHP and MYSQL i have setup database. I also have a apache server running and configured for my simple html page. Do i have to uninstall everything if i have to install XAAMP?

Regards,

I think it is better to install everything - this is a pack - he moved almost alone -

everything is at the same time like a normal software

Thank You, let me give it a try.

I can keep my apache running right?

Regards,

why would you install it on local machine ?..  get hosting

I do not know - but you try to see - if the problem of cohabitation - conflict -

 is uninstalled xampp or your server - but I think you'd better and easier with xampp

I have uninstalled PHP and SQL. I have disable my apache as well.

Installation of XAMPP went thru, it started Apache successfully but mysql does not start. Windows just does not like it for some reason. I am not sure why. I have checked whether i have another instance running but i don't.

Regards,

While i was trying i came across another site, that explained what could go wrong if i am trying to install the XAMPP. So here is what i did (for future user).

Unistalled XAMPP

Rename c:\windows\my.ini

Made sure no mysql is running (from windows services)

I rebooted my system and the reinstalled it

It worked

Now, my next mission to start installing dolphin. I hope it works.
