PLEASE NOTE: This tutorial is for Dolphin 6, please refer to Dolphin Replication doc for the instructions for Dolphin 7.
Dolphin can be configured to work on a cluster. Cluster environment was provided by HostForWeb.
Firstly. Do not delete this file on your hosting server. It must be put on your server by your hosting provider.
status.html - in root folder for load balancer.
Secondly. This is what must be done to configure Dolphin to work on 2 clusters.
You should install Dolphin on one of your servers (NOTE: create databases on both of your servers using the same names) and run the installation script on one of your servers only. After you will have to copy the files from the installed version to the second server. The database will be replicated automatically on the second server from the first one.
Enter the root folder of Dolphin installation on both servers via SSH and run the following script. It will link the folders of Dolphin to Network File System.
Note: This is only an example of what must be done. The path to the "/mnt/nas/" (Network File System) could be different on your server. So, the whole script must be re-written accordingly. For this you can consult with your hosting provider or contact us.
mv media /mnt/nas/ ln -s /mnt/nas/media/ media mv groups/gallery/ /mnt/nas/groups_gallery ln -s /mnt/nas/groups_gallery groups/gallery mv langs/ /mnt/nas/ ln -s /mnt/nas/langs/ langs mkdir /mnt/nas/inc mv inc/menu_content.inc.php /mnt/nas/inc ln -s /mnt/nas/inc/menu_content.inc.php inc/menu_content.inc.php mv inc/params.inc.php /mnt/nas/inc ln -s /mnt/nas/inc/params.inc.php inc/params.inc.php mv ray/modules/board/xml/ /mnt/nas/ray_board_xml ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_board_xml ray/modules/board/xml mv ray/modules/chat/xml/ /mnt/nas/ray_chat_xml ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_chat_xml ray/modules/chat/xml mv ray/modules/im/xml/ /mnt/nas/ray_im_xml ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_im_xml ray/modules/im/xml mv ray/modules/movie/xml/ /mnt/nas/ray_movie_xml ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_movie_xml ray/modules/movie/xml mv ray/modules/mp3/xml/ /mnt/nas/ray_mp3_xml ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_mp3_xml/ ray/modules/mp3/xml mv ray/modules/music/xml/ /mnt/nas/ray_music_xml ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_music_xml/ ray/modules/music/xml mv ray/modules/presence/xml/ /mnt/nas/ray_presence_xml ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_presence_xml/ ray/modules/presence/xml mv ray/modules/video/xml/ /mnt/nas/ray_video_xml ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_video_xml/ ray/modules/video/xml mkdir /mnt/nas/ray_global mv ray/modules/global/inc/cron.inc.php /mnt/nas/ray_global/cron.inc.php ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_global/cron.inc.php ray/modules/global/inc/cron.inc.php mv ray/modules/global/js/integration.js /mnt/nas/ray_global/integration.js ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_global/integration.js ray/modules/global/js/integration.js mv ray/modules/board/files /mnt/nas/ray_board_files ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_board_files ray/modules/board/files mv ray/modules/im/files /mnt/nas/ray_im_files ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_im_files ray/modules/im/files mv ray/modules/movie/files /mnt/nas/ray_movie_files ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_movie_files ray/modules/movie/files mv ray/modules/mp3/files /mnt/nas/ray_mp3_files ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_mp3_files ray/modules/mp3/files mv ray/modules/music/files /mnt/nas/ray_music_files ln -s /mnt/nas/ray_music_files ray/modules/music/files
Third. Some changes should be applied in Orca.
In xml/config.php file, you should change your domain name to "http://localhost/:
$gConf['url']['xml'] = 'http://localhost/orca/xml/orca.php'; // xml integration file url
Dolphin Home page and Account Builder are affected. The URLs should be changed as follows:
homepage builder: {SiteUrl}orca/?action=rss_all -> http://localhost/orca/?action=rss_all
account builder : {SiteUrl}orca/?action=rss_user&user={NickName} -> http://localhost/orca/?action=rss_user&user={NickName}
Dolphin's inc/header.inc.php file should be affected too:
header.inc.php : if( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) and $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'localhost' and $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != $aUrl['host'] )
added -> and $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'localhost'
