You need to fix this first:
----------------------------
PHP version too old, update server please
mbstring extension not installed. Warning! Dolphin cannot work without mbstring extension




Next, you need to set this in your php.ini:
-----------------------------------------------
allow_url_include = Off
register_globals = Off
safe_mode = Off

allow_url_fopen = On

allow_url_include = Off
register_globals = Off
safe_mode = Off

allow_url_fopen = On

all this settings are intact and yet it's still throwing the same errors. how do i fix the mbstring error?

You should recompile your php with mbstring extension.

this is for windows:

extension=php_mbstring.dll

and here:

http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php

you can read about installation at unix

Why should safe_mode be disabled? Not many webhotels will agree on that since it is a security issue.

How comes we dont have a solution for Dolhin...

Is there anyway around it?

My webhotel doesnt allow me to disable it. And when I try to install I get the message that I have to disable it.

Help please. I am installing the latest version.

Yes, there is a work around.  It's called getting out of that shared little webhotel your wasting your time and money on and getting a real host that comprehends what dolphin is and the safeguards that have been put in place in it's programming to deal with it.
