how to install backup of dolphin?

How to install backup of a dolphin site into a new, unmanaged ,remote vps?

is it same as installing new dolphin site?????

Assuming you have some type of control panel:

1) Transfer files over to your new website directory (FTP, Tar or Zip with Shell)

2) Transfer database over to website's new account

3) Configure settings in /inc/header.inc/php

4) Set any permissions such as ffmpeg.exe to 777 and /inc directory to 555

5) Test and provide results here

Alternately, if you are moving from cpanel to cpanel, you can just create a cpanel backup from your originating server and restore it on your new server (server as in VPS)

I did as u said..... site iz opening now but i cant access data.....

i hav .sql DB file of my site.... plz tell me how to add data to my site... i dnt know where to transfer DB in new account...

import your data with:

mysql -u root -pxxx db-name < backup-dolphin.sql

xxx = your password for the mysql-root user

db-name = name of your dolphin database

hope this help

Alternatively, you can import the SQL file through phpMyAdmin.

Now i have imported the data and all data appears on my site. But when i click on any mod like blogs, phops.videos etc these comes broken link screen..

What to do now??

404 error? If so, make sure the .htaccess file is in the root of your installation and mod_rewrite is loaded in Apache. Also, make sure you cleared the /cache/ and /cache_public/ directories, leaving the .htaccess file in the former directory intact.

plz guide me on how to do this mod_rewrite thing.........

Did you make sure the .htaccess file is in the root directory of your installation? Also make sure you emptied your cache directories after transferring your site.

If you hava a default Ubuntu-Apache2 installation, you must change the apache default-config. Please change the entry "AllowOverride none" to "AllowOverride All" in the section <Directory /var/www/> in your apache default-config(/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default). You can enable the mod_rewrite with the following command:

a2enmod rewrite

Restart apache now:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

so long

Thanks a lot to all of u guys... my site iz up now and working 100% till date, i m gonna check it all again..

p.s..- i m a dentist n didnt even know the full form of php before....  bt now i can atleast manage my site... thanks agn..

one last and small problem....

when i type' fourthmolar.com'   it doesnt open

but when i type 'www.fourthmolar.com' its opens.... any remedy??

and last but nt the least, see the blue template on the site, i downloaded it  frm a site but it had some css probs, now i used 'fire bug' addon in firefox and corrected it. can i resell it in market after making more changes???

It seems you've resolved your problem (it's redirecting fine for me). As for reselling a purchased template, this isn't allowed, but you may be able to resell it depending on how much you've changed. You will have to contact the developer of this template for their blessing.

but i m nt redirected......... 

Try clearing your local cache.

cleared.... still its nt redirected!!

What browser are you using?

Site does not load for me with fourthmolar.com but does for www.fourthmolar.com

If any recent DNS changes were made to attempt to correct that, then it can take up to 72 hours for those changes to propagate to all the internet DNS servers.

@ Magnussoft i use chrome, firefox and IE

@ deano92964 i havnt done any DNS changes but thanks for suggrsting that, i'll do it now

New problem- avatars, images and videos tumbnails dont appear in their blocks...........

and m unable to upload avatar and images...

Anytime a site is moved to a new server or reatored from a backup, all permissions that were configured when dolphin was installed must be reconfigured.

See this doc for most of the permissions.

http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DetailedInstall

However this doc file does not cover any of the modules. Those will have to be figured out as i do not know of any docs that cover them.

For the avatars, modules/boonex/avatar/data folder and all it's subfolders and files must be writable. Mode 777.

Also empty the contents of the cache, cache_public and tmp folders except for the .htaccess files in them and make sure those 3 folders are writable.

I am unable to upload photos and videos....

Folder modulesboonexvideosdatafiles must be writable. Mode 777. Any existing files in that folder will need to be writable as well.

Also

Folder modulesboonexphotosdatafiles must be writable. Mode 777. Any existing files in that folder will need to be writable as well.


Technically all files within the datafiles folders are supposed to be owned by the apache webserver as php/apache is what uploaded the files as such was the original owner of the file before it was moved to a new server. Normally the files within the folders are only writable by the owner. But changing ownership would require shell access and the knowledge to do it. However Mode 777 will still allow access to apache to remove the file when a member deletes a video or photo.

That was most likely more information than you needed.

Now when i tried to uninstall some unwanted modules(store, membership, forums), this error msg appears....

Uninstallation of: Store Failed

Uninstallation problem solved after changing permissions og lang file....

but database query error after tryin to go to profile paga in still there. plz help.

Anytime you receive a Database Error like that, you should receive an email to the "Site email" specified in the Admin panel. That email should tell you exactly why there was a database error. Do not post the whole email, but if you can provide the error, then we can possible help.

It almost seems that you would have been better off with a fresh install on the new server and the run the .sql file that you backed up from your database. Just a suggestion.

Havnt recieved ny email... We initially tried fresh install and backing up but after wasting a full month with a boonex agent we decided to upload old files...

well i tried to uninstall some mods, uninstall failed and this error started.

thn i chaged permissions of language files and completed the uninstall but this problem still persists....

This is some thing myadmin tells to take care of since 2 dez, is it related to this problem?

localhost

this is the probs as in mail--

Found error in the file '/srv/www/fourthmolar.com/public_html/modules/boonex/profile_customize/classes/BxProfileCustomizeDb.php' at line 96.
Called 'getAll' function with erroneous argument #0.

K ive solved these probs jus by uninstalling the module 'profile customiser'.. now plz guide me regarding these issues

- fb connect nt working. i tried resitting the secret key. if permission probs thn temmi bout that

- forums too nt working

Plz help me.... nybdy there???

Facebook Connect is a known issue that is fixed in the upcomming release. You can either wait, or apply the fix now through the repository. As for your forums, what kind of issue are you having?

my fb connect ws working well before shifting so i guess its some temp problem...

While in forums, wen i click to go to forum, a blank screen appears ...

edit- btw what is repository n where can i find it??

Actually no, thats not the reason. Unless you upgraded your copy of facebook connect before you moved the site that is. Which i don't believe you did.

Facebook recently changed the API they use. So the version of facebook connect that is standard with dolphin no longer works. For anyone. Every dolphin administrator that is using the boonex version of facebook connect has to upgrade it if they want it working.

The new version will be part of dolphin 7.0.3. So you can either wait, then update all of dolphin or you can download the updated files from the trak repository located here. http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/browser/trunk/modules/boonex/facebook_connect

You must uninstall the current version from admin before you upload any new files.

thanks... are there files working??? how to download it??

No thumbnails for photos and videos...... files open but thumbnails dont appear.... wad to do?????????????
