When I went through all the steps of installing the dolphin social network files, all steps of the process checked out OK. Once complete, the index page shows the following message:
Warning: require_once(/home/content/s/c/o/scotthosting/html/social/ray/modules/global/inc/header.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/s/c/o/scotthosting/html/magic/social/inc/header.inc.php on line 173

I am hosting on Go Daddy and using the most current version of MSQL. I am at a loss. I need this up and running asap. i think it may be a small something missing but I dont know. The missing files concern me. I downloaded the entire package to install and delted nothing, so therefore how could a file be missing which causes the site not to work.
SOMEONE...please be so kind to help me figure this out. Email here as well... info@magicandimagination.com
Thank you

Did you check the permission for inc and ray/modules/global/inc folders ??? Life is a fatal disease, sexually transmissible - Virginity is carcinogenic! Ask here for vaccine. |
What do the permissions need to be set to?
|
good pointn sammie. how do i correct the path. is there some code somewhere that is not talking correctly because i did not change anything when installing. |
I'm getting the same error, I had a look at the file (where it calls for header.inc.php) and it's not a check or anything, it just requires that file, that does not exist in the zip... |
that file is not in the zip because its get created when you install dolphin, so if you don't have it better reinstall properly.
good luck
so much to do.... |
I went to (mydomain.com/install/index.php) and that was where it gave me the missing file error..
The file that calls for header.inc.php is /home/schoolwo/public_html/profile.php
(I need to get this working by end of day.. any help would be much appreciated)
|
not only profile.php but every page will call that file. Its my humble request to everyone please clean reinstall properly. so much to do.... |
By clean reinstall, you mean delete files in the root, and upload zip, extract it, and go to http://mydomain.co.za/install/index.php?
I have tried this, with the same result.. is there a step I am missing?
|
yes you are doing that correctly but maybe you are missing something. If you have softaculous installed in cpanel install it through softaculous, that will be best. so much to do.... |
Unfortunately, I don't have softaculous, but I will continue looking though the forums, maybe I'm missing something..
Thank you for your help though..

so much to do.... |
Yip I get to Part 4: Run the Install Script, when it first gives me an allow_url_include warning, (says it's on and that it cant continue.
So I changed the .httaccess file in the install folder to have this:
allow_url_include off
After that change, it gives me the missing file error..
|
have you checked the dir permission? so much to do.... |
Folder permissions are 755 |
inc folder permission must be 777 on the time of installation. so much to do.... |
OK cool! thanks I'll give it another try!
Thanks again!

I think that might be your problem, if you add it to the htaccess it has to be like this:
php_flag allow_url_include on
if you put it in the php.ini then you can add it in the format you used.
Try that and see if it fixes it.

actually i think it depends on the server setup if his server setup is cgi than he have to use .htaccess method and if its apache than the php.ini.

Yes that's correct, that's why I covered both methods. But he said he put it in the .htaccess and the format he used is the one for php.ini so assuming he put it in the correct file he needs add "php_flag" before it. If his server is setup the other way then he needs to move it to a php.ini. Either way I'm pretty sure this is the root of his problem.

i dont know if he got this going, but i did have a discussion with this member on skype, and attempted to provide what needed to be done. the member has a dedicated server, thus, what is lacking is a server admin it would appear to me, because the install issues are directly related to server configuration.
when you are on a dedicated or VPS, there is no need to attempt work-arounds using php.ini or php_flags, the server needs to be configured and optimized for dolphin compatibility, and then everything will work.

You're right, I've gotten in this bad habit of assuming everyone here is on shared hosting. I think if I asked up front what type of server they were on and who the host was I could save some time in the debug process.

i typically ask that as due course, however, there are 'some' God Bless' them, who think I am asking about the hosting service provider as a means of pointing out inadequacies with the hosting service. that is not the case at all. and i think some format should be provided for anybody submitting a ticket. there are certain requirements that are to be met, that should be satisfied prior to complaining about the dolphin software. in many cases, this is not happening, i.e the case in point where the fellow was in here declaring issues with dolphin, when he was trying to load it on a free hosting service, that was most likely designed for a 5 page static site.

granted we all know dolphin has its issues, but there are about 40% or greater posts that have nothing to do with dolphin, then there are 50% of new posts that have already been addressed hundreds of times, and if the poster would take the time, to search the forum, and or "google" and read what is being stated, then resolution would be more swift.
so all-in-all, dolphin is a great foundation, a good place to get started, and with the right set of tools (knowledge being primary) you can do anything with dolphin.
if the moderators would setup a checklist for unity members of what is required as a standard that you have satisfied all requirements of the dolphin scripts developer recommendation, then post your topic, i think we would see a far cleaner and more informative forum.

Thanks again DosDawg, for your help.
We ended up with it most likely being a server issue, so we are going to be working more on the idea, then get a different host for dolphin next year.
Dolphin does seem extremely powerful and I cant wait to work with it!
Thanks to everyone that helped me out!
Cheers!
