RMS in dolphin 7

First of all I would like to say that this is the most complex, free script I have ever seen.

Ok so a little background.

I am making a site for a friend and wanted to throw him up a little social network.

I am a coder and design games and have for years so I thought this would be a quick simple project, boy was I wrong. I am on hour 72 and still don't have the site working right and it is bugging me.

So the problem...

i can't get the chat to work nor any of the flash modules.

My system

I am running a dedicated server with hostgator.

So I iinstalled the RMS and then realized I would have to install java to make it work. I have never used the shell access before and don't really trust myself not to screw up my site. I dun several games which pay decent money so it isn't worth the risk.

So I went with a 3rd party RMS from a company called JoomByte. They say that they are equipted to provide 3rd party RMS for dolphin 7 users.

So I set up the information in the Flash App settings, I checked it 3 times to make sure the info was right before i dropped 5 bucks to post this message. When I click to save settings I do not get a message saying it can't connect, I did when i first tried to connect but that was because it took them a minute to get the acount set up.

So I am reasonably sure that everything is as it should be with the RMS.

Now here is what is happening....

When I try to load any of the flash mods it is just stuck on the loading circle and does nothing else.

I have read that if you disabled the RMS that chat would work but video won't, I tried that and I still have the loading circle and nothing else.

I feel like an idiot, I know i must have missed something simple but I have no idea what. I have removed my attempt at installing the RMS from my host. I am sure it is something simple but I don't know. I have tripple checked all the file and folder permissions and they are all correct. I have deleted the site and dumped the database many times and started over, each time I have green on all the requirements.

Any ideas?

Sorry if I have been long winded, I just really hate it when someone tells me there is a problem and then i have to talk the info out of them to see what might be wrong.

I should add that i have looked at the demo chats and they load fine for me, it is just my own that do not.

Hey fallacy I'm quit new myself but have learned that during several installs, in the flash apps settings chat will work if modules show not installed.

I have set up three different home servers with this script as well each time I change things. with the last setup, i installed RMS and then D7, installed all mods as instructed, the only thing I activated in the "Flash Modules" section was the "use RMS" and entered the ip.. chat worked right away.. hope this helps any. hit me back

there are few flash apps that don't require RMS to be installed

chat is one of them       however if planing on using video-chat then yes you'll need rms installed :)

what's the problem it doesn't load or it says not registered ??.....
most of the time it's incorrect folder/files permission

Thanks for taking the time to answer newton.

Unless I am mistaken when you install a module it is already enabled by default.

Just for giggles I tried disabling it and that doesn't work either i get Module(chat) was not found when i go to that page.

Unless I am just misunderstanding what you are saying, which at this point is very possible.

I am kinda at the banging my head against the wall stage, I would never have dreamed this would take so long.

I had planned on doing other things this weekend.

if you disable it in the flash app setting then you would need to un-install it as well
but there's no need to disable it in flash app settings just use tools---modules--and uninstall it

prolaznik, thanks to you as well for taking the time to reply

ok so if chat doesn't need the RMS then i am guessing you are correct and I some how have a file permission set wrong.

When I try to load the chat I get the spinning wheel along with the loading but that is all it does.

it isn't saying anything about not being registered

right now the only mod I have installed is the chat one

Also make sure you have all the necessary requirements in your php.ini file, as well. Honestly, no one's said that?

in that case it's the folder/files permission

here's what i got

/flash/modules/chat
chmod 705

/flash/modules/chat/xml
config.xml
langs.xml
main.xml
skins.xml
chmod 666

php.ini
allow_url_fopen = on

register_globals=Off
magic_quotes_gpc=On
allow_url_include=Off
upload_max_filesize=300M
post_max_size=300M
max_input_time=3000
max_execution_time=3000
memory_limit=128M
short_open_tag=On
allow_url_fopen=On

I beleive that is all i need?

You've passed your training. Now, keep listening to Prolaznik, since he's the only one with a clue around here.

I have the same settings and it is still doing the spin

/flash/modules/global/inc
header.inc.php

chmod 604

Hi, it's me again to ruin even more of my reputation. Have you tried the permissions outlined here?: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DetailedInstall70 - I'm already sure that you have.

Also, sorry for going against you on this, Prolaznik. I already know your better off than me with this issue. 

same setting with mine

no need to apologize
i know heheeh j/k

what's weird looks like he has the same settings as i do only his doesn't work

yeah that is where i started.

I am kinda different from most people i guess I understand that even the best of us can miss something really simple so don't mind people pointing out anything at all they think i might have messed up on.

more info plzzzz

who you hosting with
is the installation in subdir. or root

My system

I am running a dedicated server with hostgator. linux

I have the site set up in the root

the domain i am setting it up on was bought just to run this program, it isn't on my main site

Alright, time to bring in the really stupid questions that no one wants to even dare ask: browser, version and flash, version (both down to the decimal)?

@Magnussoft get back here and finish what you have started to help out heeh

i am testing it in both IE 7.0.6002.18005 and FF 3.0.17

is it spamming if i post a link to the chat?

i got ff 3.5.7
post a link to the site or mail me one

http://bathax.com/m/chat/home/

tools-modules uninstall chat

ftp
re-upload the folder flash from your d7 original package
maybe some files got corrupted

tools-modules reinstall chat

My grandmother had this issue once: she set her permissions to some odd levels and the Flash applications stopped working. I said "Granny, you need to put these permissions in their place." "How, Amy?" my grandmother replied. "Um, no, I'm not Amy, granny. Anyways, you need to set all the directories to 755 and all the files to 644, with the ffmpeg binary being set to 755 as well." And that was the last I saw of her.

Also, do what Prolaznik tells you to do.

I agree with prolaznik.

But both of your browsers are way out of date. You might want to think about updating them.

The ffmpeg binary must be executable. mode 777

Actually, I have a confession: my default web browser is still Netscape Navigator 9.0.0.6. And I'm not changing it.

CHMOD 755 , 644, 755
won't always work it depends on the server configuration

Some installations require 755. Excuse me for recognizing those annoyingly-odd configurations.

ok i uninstalled, cleared the chache and am uploading now.

I have a internet customer who continued to run Netscape Communicator 4.79 up until a year ago when i force him to bring his computer in so i could show him why half the websites he went to did not work.

As for permissions, yea i keep forgetting about those weird sites that don't follow standard linux file permission rules.

I've been a long-time user of Netscape software, so even as time goes on, it remains my default browser to use. However, when a web site does not work, I do use Opera. Just because I prefer an older browser, doesn't mean I'm unwilling to use an alternative when needed.

ok i reinstalled and it is the same thing.

the compney that is supplying the RMS sent me a link saying it was working fine and I could see it at so and so. I am able to see the chat there so the browser is ok but after reuploading it I still can't see it on mine.

I am going to grab a fresh copy of dolphin and see if that does the trick

is your server running suPHP or PHPsuExec
http://support.hostgator.com/articles/Hosting-Plans/424/phpsuexec
change all your folder/directory permissions to 755 and all your file permissions to 644

tried it and it didn't work.

First of all I would like to thank all of you for giving help and not making me feel like a fool for not being able to do this on my own.

It is really refreshing to find a forum where the regulars are not all cliques and take time to help out the new people.

Thanks guys!

Ok I tried everything under the sun and nothing worked so I went with a new approach.

I deleted everything and then found a program that I was able to add to my whm and then just direct install dolphin 7 from the cpanel on the site.

I then had to change a few global settings in the whm and now it works fine.

lol this was alot of work just to give a kid a social network. Well on the bright side if anyone using my hosting wants the can add Dolphin 7 via the cpanel with one click.

Thanks again for all the help guys.

Well I am having the same issues with the RAY A/V Chat and am hosting with HostForWeb. They sent out emails saying they are offering a FREE RMS to all accounts.  I noticed that the domain/IP field has a limit on characters, so you cannot type in a full domain name. So they gave me RMS7.hfw.us as a pointer, and still nothing. I have read through all the pointers here, and everything is set according to directions.

Any suggestions?

I moved from HostGator to HostUpon for the Dolphin account and then found out they didn't have RMS but told me to use the "free"  RMS from BoonEx (not happy after setting up the account and finding that was gone . . . hint, the webpage at http://www.boonex.com/products/bms implies the free RMS from Boonex is still up).

I also signed up for the JoomByte external RMS.  For my install, most everything is working EXCEPT the "record video comment" thingie.  The solution JoomByte suggests is that I move all my domains to their hosting so it will all work beautifully.  That's not the solution I'm looking for . . . the one where you pay for yet another hosting provider instead of getting what was advertised to work to actually work.

JoomByte told me that they don't have ANY complaints from others who use their RMS for Dolphin so it's nice to see that others have at least some difficulties . . . well, not nice you're havin' issues, just nice not to be the only one to share the misery with. :-)
