help with install

Ok now I have gotten the first problem figured out took me some time, but it ended up I had tp disable open_basedir in PHP.ini. However, now that I have this completed I get to config section and enter the information then continue to the cron jobs only to find

PHP Warning:  fopen(../inc/header.inc.php) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\install\index.php on line 706

I have checked to make sure fopen is turned on which it is, I tried to restart the server with no luck. Any help with this would be great. Also I am utilizing IIS not Apache.

Thanks in advance,

Jake

Still have not been able to get Dolphin 7 to install. Been at this for awhile now. Any one able to help figure my problem out?

Looks like you need to open at least read permissions on the inc/header.inc.php file.

When you got to the part about revering the permissions on the inc folder, what did you set it to. Should be 744 mininum. It needs to remain group and world readable at least.

This sounds like a final stage permissions issue on the inc folder.

Sorry for the delay....I am using windows for the server IIS7 to be exact. All the files have the correct permissions needed in the permissions screen.

Sorry. I missed that part about IIS7.

I am afraid i will not be of any help. Dolphin was designed for apache. None of dolphins permalinks will work even if you do manage to get it installed due to the lack of support for .htaccess files.

There have been very few people that have managed to get dolphin to run on IIS.

There should be a large banner on the installation script which reads: "THIS SCRIPT DOES NOT WORK WITH IIS."

Even still, I expect people to try it anyways and run in here asking for help.

Thanks, I have usually used Apache, but figured I would give IIS7 a run since I need to get up to speed on IIS. I believe it is true to my findings so far IIS is not worth the headache LOL. I think I will keep with testing IIS, but for my production site I will be using Apache for one it is more supported then WINDOWS lol. Thanks for the help though. If anyone has gotten Dolphin to run on IIS I would like to here about it maybe I can get some valuable information for future use.

I had to do a Windows install and got it work on IIS 7.

Windows Server 2008. It was a case of user permissions and running the correct version of PHP. The server I was working on had 3 versions. So far no issues.
