i realy didn't choose any language, but the manual was in Englisch. So i supose that the default will be Englisch ?!

Per IgorL:

======

This may have happened because your MySQL timeouts are too short for the installation query procedure.

But you may also just re-compile the language by entering this URL in the browser:

Code:

http://YOURDOMAINNAMEHERE.COM/install/?action=compile_languages

======

In this case, you can try to reinstall Dolphin from scratch but before that you should follow these instructions:

== Things To Know Before You start ==

Before you start the install, there are a few things you need to have and do.

* Access to your web server (via shell or FTP): you should learn your shell or FTP account requisites from your hosting provider

* Access to your MySQL Database Management System: this is usually phpMyAdmin which can be accessed via your host's Control Panel or separately from that

* Access to your Web server Management Interface: this is usually CPanel or shell (for experienced users)

* Your web browser of choice


== Things You Need to Do For The Installation ==

Begin your installation by:

* Check to ensure that you and your web host has the minimum [DolTech requirements] to install and run Dolphin.

* [Download BoonEx Dolphin Download] the latest release of Dolphin.

* Unzip the downloaded file to a folder on your local hard drive.

* Make sure you have set appropriate PHP settings for uploading media files.

a) If PHP on your server is running in CGI mode, you need to create a '''php.ini''' file with the following contents:

{{{
register_globals=Off
magic_quotes_gpc=On
allow_url_include=Off
upload_max_filesize=300M
post_max_size=300M
max_input_time=3000
max_execution_time=3000
memory_limit=128M
short_open_tag=On

}}}

Then copy this file to every subfolder of Dolphin directory except for the following folders:
* '''orca/xml/langs''' (in 6.1.x) or '''modules/boonex/forum/install/langs/''' and '''modules/boonex/forum/integrations/base/langs/''' (in 7.0)

* '''ray/modules/*/skins''' (in 6.1.x) or '''flash/modules/*/skins''' (in 7.0)

* '''ray/modules/*/langs''' (in 6.1.x) or '''flash/modules/*/langs''' (in 7.0)

'''Note''': if you have an SSH access to your hosting account, you can easily perform the above operation:

1) upload the '''php.ini''' file you have created above into the Dolphin installation folder

2) log into your SSH account and navigate to the Dolphin installation folder

3) run these commands:

for Dolphin 6.1.x
{{{
find ./ -type d -exec cp php.ini {} \;
rm -rf ./ray/modules/*/skins/php.ini; rm -rf ./ray/modules/*/langs/php.ini; rm -rf ./orca/xml/langs/php.ini

}}}
for Dolphin 7.x
{{{
find ./ -type d -exec cp php.ini {} \;
rm -rf ./flash/modules/*/skins/php.ini ./flash/modules/*/langs/php.ini ./modules/boonex/forum/install/langs/php.ini ./modules/boonex/forum/integrations/base/langs/php.ini

}}}
where * stands for every subfolder of the '''ray/modules''' or '''flash/modules''' folder

b) If PHP on your server is running as Apache module, place this code in the '''.htaccess''' file which resides in the main Dolphin directory:
{{{
php_flag register_globals Off
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc On
php_flag allow_url_include Off
php_value upload_max_filesize 300M
php_value post_max_size 300M
php_value max_input_time 3000
php_value max_execution_time 3000
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value short_open_tag On

}}}

* You can also change some MySQL settings to prevent connection timeouts when uploading big files:
Insert the following commands
{{{
mysql_query ("SET @@local.wait_timeout=9000;");
mysql_query ("SET @@local.interactive_timeout=9000;");
mysql_query ("SET @@local.connect_timeout=9000;");

}}}

after the line:
{{{
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");

}}}
in the '''ray/modules/global/inc/db.inc.php''' file '''''(only for 6.1.x, there's no need to do it in 7.0)'''''

and after the line:
{{{
$this->link = @mysql_pconnect( $this->host . $this->port . $this->sock, $this->user, $this->passwd );

}}}
in the '''inc/db.inc.php''' file '''''(for 6.1.x only)'''''

'''in Dolphin 7.0 you can insert these lines''':
{{{
$this->res ("SET @@local.wait_timeout=9000;");
$this->res ("SET @@local.interactive_timeout=9000;");
$this->res ("SET @@local.connect_timeout=9000;");

}}}

after the line:
{{{
$this->res("SET sql_mode = ''");

}}}
in the file '''inc/classes/BxDolDb.php'''

how do i know my server is running on CGI mode ?
its to complicated !

"This may have happened because your MySQL timeouts are too short for the installation query procedure"

Well - let me put it this way... if your hosting MYSQL is so slow that the install can not complete before it times out (assuming this is it), then maybe you should try a different host... as even if you do get the install working... your site performance will be slow/bad.

Ok .. a friend of me did the installation , there where some security problems.
anyway thx a lot for your support.

now i have to find out how it works
is there a video site ... like Software training online-tutorials for Adobe, Microsoft, Apple & more ?

make a ini file containing name the file php.ini

<pre>register_globals=Off magic_quotes_gpc=On allow_url_include=Off upload_max_filesize=300M post_max_size=300M max_input_time=3000 max_execution_time=3000 memory_limit=128M short_open_tag=On</pre>

add the .ini file and the boonex 7.0 file to your c:/ file in windows, there should be windows, Program Files, Ect. place the folders here. this will be easier for the code below.


open dos command add code below everything

for /R c:\Dolphin-v.7.0.0 %a in (.) do copy C:\php.ini %a

If you get an error replace c:\Dolphin-v.7.0.0 with C:\php.ini and C:\php.ini with c:\Dolphin-v.7.0.0 ,,,,ONLY IF ERROR

copy code to dos and bamm it be done and will copy to all subfolders , make sure you take it out the .ini file from the folders that are described in the install. those file do NOT need this file and will give errors
