RMS setup questions

Hi all, I know practically nothing about rms or any of its settings except from what I have read here today. Just wanted to find out how to set this up. I am hosted with hostgator and was going to ask them but thought I would post here first so that I know what I am talking about when I contact them.

First I was wondering if I use hostgagor instead of Rays rms all I need to get from them as far as information is the information in the Flash apps/settings boxes right? RMS address, port and http port. Under that same settings control there is boxes for banner image, and banner target window. What are these?

Also read information on crons when looking through the searches and pinned post on top. Just wanted to make sure that when I installed the script were these added during installation or do I need to make my own.

Well that should be enough to get me started. Please let me know if there is something that I am missing or need to know. Like I said I have never worked with flash media before and know nothing about it. It would be great if there was a detailed instructional manual for at least this one aspect of the script since it seems to me that it would be a very important and much used part of this script. Is there one and I just don't know where it is?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

For RMS. Yes. You just need the RMS server address and ports from your host. Thats if they even provide RMS service.


Crons. No they are not automatically created during install. At the end of the install, dolphin provided a command to setup for the cron job based on your install paths and what it found for PHP, but the actually cron job has to be setup manually.

Some how I must have missed that part about the crons. I know how to set one up but I need the information to put in to the cron setup. Where can I find this?

And thanks for he quick reply.

Dolphin won't give it to you again, so it will need to be figured out.

Normally it is like this.

cd /home/username/public_html/periodic; /usr/bin/php -q cron.php

Path to dolphin root.
Path to php.

Man this sucks, I guess I will try and install the crons from your example as well as the ones in the post pinned at the top. If I can't figure it out maybe my host can help me. If not I guess I'll have to delete the site and start over.

Just tried to send out a newsletter and it was found in my spam and said that it was undeliverable and that the site was blacklisted by google. Could the crons have caused this.

The path to dolphin root is easy enough to figure out.

The location of your php interpreter is another story. Quite often cron needs to use a different one than the web server, so to get that information, it is best to contact your host.

Says /usr/bin/php is correct.
