Installation

I am trying to install the latest release of boonex but i am getting an error:

register_globals is On (warning, you should have this param in Off state, or your site will unsafe)
allow_url_include is On (warning, you should have this param in Off state, or your site will unsafe)
Please go to the
Dolphin Troubleshooter
and solve the problem.

The .httpaccess has register_global off , allow_url_include is Off.

What might be the problem with my files?

These settings are suppose to be set in a php.ini file.

Hi deano92964

The server i am using uses Apache mode instead of CGI mode.

I simple followed the instruction of b)

b) If PHP on your server is running as Apache module, place this code in the .htaccess file which resides in the main Dolphin directory:

Do i still have to create a separate php.ini ?

You should not have to in apache mode.

So this could mean that the server is not processing the .htaccess file.

Have your host find out why.

If you do not have access to your web server's php.ini file, you must contact your web hosting provider. You can also try the following by placing the following code in the .htaccess file in the root of your installation:

php_flag register_globals Off
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc 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

If this does not work, it means there are restrictions on .htaccess files, and you must contact your web hosting provider.

php_flag register_globals Off
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc 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

I have done the changes to the .htaccess file before i posted this problem.

Let me contact the provider and get back.

Thanks everyone.

I  am back once again.

After correcting the php.ini and ,htaccess , there comes a page with dolphin logo saying dolphin installed before i even install it.

"Please, remove INSTALL directory from your server and reload this page to activate your community site."

This has skipped the manual installation process.

What is causing this error?

I am using the new dolphin 7.0.1

Well now you got me confused. I was under the impression from your first post that this is a new inatall.


The message your pointing out now says it's already installed.

So guess we have to backup a little.

Is this a new fresh install or are you trying to upgrade from a previous version?

Its a fresh installation.I have overcome the last problem and i have gone through the installation process till the last segment when it comes out with an error :

I finally overcome the final error.I did this by removing the code we placed in inc/classes/BxDolDb.php

$this->res ("SET @@local.wait_timeout=9000;");
$this->res ("SET @@local.interactive_timeout=9000;");
$this->res ("SET @@local.c alt=9000;");

It could not work with dolphin 7.0.1 release and it leaves me very concerned what exactly is the right way to go about this installation.
