Dolphin pages not showing up

I recently just installed Dolphin on my VPS but the frontpage or other pages are not showing up. I have read and followed the instructions on http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DolCommonInstallProblems about Common After-Installation problems but still can't get the pages to show up. I need help pls, any ideas that might help me?

If it's the latest, I can say that the .htaccess may be causing some problems. First, make sure your server does have the rewrite_mod installed (Apache). If it is, try simply removing the root folder .htaccess file and see if the pages come up.

I am looking into rewrite_mod installed (Apache) as you have directed. I also just want to clearify/input that the site is just show blank/plain white page.

How do i know if my server does have the rewrite_mod installed (Apache).

I have just downloaded and checked the my .htaccess file. I saw at the biginning of the downloaded .htaccess is:

Options -MultiViews

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^articles/{0,1}$   articles.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^articles/entry/([^/.]+)/{0,1}$   articles.php?action=viewarticle&articleUri=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^articles/entry/{0,1}$   articles.php?action=viewarticle&articleUri=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^articles/category/([^/.]+)/{0,1}$   articles.php?action=viewcategory&articleCatUri=$1 [QSA,L]

and others.

I also deleted the .htaccess file as directed to see if it the site will showup but nothing, still blank white page. I have re-uploaded it back. Still showing blank white page

Any more ideas? waiting for ur help. thank

Have you tryed this!!!

1. I see a blank page in the place of my Dolphin Home page. How do I fix this?

Your server probably refuses to use relative paths, so that PHPs' require_once instructions can't find the files specified.

To resolve the problem you should add the following string as the first instruction in index.php, inc/design.inc.php and admin/index.php.

ini_set("include_path", "path_to_script");

 

You should replace "path_to_script" with the absolute path to your script's folder.

Hello,

Make sure you do not have a blank index.html in your Dolphin directory.

are you able to view http://yourdomain.com/admin ?

if so then synergy's suggestion would ring true about an indicative problem of having a blank index.html in your public_html directory.

Hi Okweb, i have tried ini_set("include_path", "path_to_script"); where my "path_to_script" is /home/space/public_html/mycommunity/ but didn't work. mycommunity is where dolphin script is installed.

Hi, synergy, i have checked, i don't have blank index page i  the dolphin directory.

Hi, DosDawg, i have checked, the mysite.com/mycommunity/admin is not showing too. it's also showing blank white page.

I really will appreciate any further help. thanks you

Regards

when you were running the install script, did everything check out during all the steps?

 

seems like some configuration problems on your server. can you get us a link to your phpinfo() for your site. have you read the server technical requirements and ensured your server is meeting those minimum requirements?

Hey DosDawg,  my index.php file was erased as you mentioned above.  How is it that it happened?  And, how can I prevent it from happening in the future?
