Unable to Install Modules

Arrrh... I am so sick of this. I have spent hours for almost nothing...

I really hope someone can help me out.

I have completed the installation of Dolphin 7.0.1 and its database. However, if I try to install all the included modules at the same time, it will be stuck at loading for about 7 minutes, then gives "Database query error". When I went back to Tools/Modules, most of the Modules were shown as installed. However, there was only 1 of the modules showed up under Modules menu besides Flash App, which was pre-installed. Even so, the module entry under the Modules menu linked to a non-existent URL, so did the menus on the homepage. After all, those "installed" modules couldn't even be removed. Instead, the same database query error came up too.

What gives? Someone please help! Thanks!!

sorry to hear you are facing hurdles on this. but that is actually expected with dolphin. so with the limited information i would personally be unable to answer your inquiry. you would need to provide other logical information.

where are you hosted?

how'd you upload the files to the server?

what is your server configuration?

what is your max_execution time?

how much ram is allocated to virtual memory?

what version of php are you running?

what version of mysql are you running?

does  your server meet the developers recommended server requirements?

do you have mod_rewrite enabled?

at any rate, hope you can provide this information. also have you installed dolphin v-x at all on this same server?

Thanks so much for your prompt attention.

Here are the details you were asking for:

The site is hosted at MediaTemple's ve Server.

The script was loaded to the server using wget, and then unzipped to a directory.

The server is running the latest versions of Apache2, PHP5 and MySQL5.

max_executi alt= 300.

memory limit = 256MB.

All host params meet the recommended settings.

mod_rewrite is enabled.

The server was wiped clean before installing Dolphin v7.0.1.

Thanks again for your help!

One thing I noticed is that Virtual Directory and Thread Safety are disabled. How can I enable them?

The problem has been resolved.

I can't thank you more, DosDawg! Much appreciated!

Eh, from one Media Temple user to another, care to tell me how you solved your issue?

As it turned out, mod_rewrite wasn't enabled.

This is what I did to the resolve the problem.

• ssh to your host.
• send this command: a2enmod rewrite
  
• edit this file: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default
• change the following lines in the file:

•  DocumentRoot /var/www/
          <Directory />
                  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
          </Directory>
          <Directory /var/www/>
                  Options FollowSymLinks 
  AllowOverride All
                  Order allow,deny
                  allow from all
          </Directory>

you are quite welcome. of course those are just the few things i would have checked initially, cant say this will resolve all problems all the time. but  you have to start with a solid base, and those things are required for dolphin to run on any machine.
