Thread: Dolphin 5.4 Login

I am playing around with the new version of Dolphin and can not get the login page to display properly. I have installed it twice on different machines with the same result. Everything else in the site seems to work alright until it calls member.php. The screen shot is what I get when you click the "log in" tab. I am running this with: PHP 5.2.0, IIS6, mysql 5.0.27

Start with this - right mouse button click on the dead image the [X] and select "properities" or "elements" and see what the path is there - it appears you have a path or permissions problem.

Smoge, you were correct in that the paths were not correct. The reason why is the install for Dolphin 5.4 does not build the header.inc.php correctly. I compared it to my 5.3 version one and it was missing the following code:

Code:

$dir_dir			= 'dir';
$site['dir_subdir']		= $dir_dir.'/';
$site['dir_url']		= $site['url'].$site['dir_subdir'];

I added this the 5.4 header file and it all works now.

I noticed that I didn't have a header.inc.php file but it was called in the code of my files. I had no idea it was built during the install though... I am looking at my code and where do I put this new code that chameleon found? Do I put it in my install/index.php file? It looks like it to me, but I could be wrong. Where do I put it? I am going to try to figure this out but I'm not sure, could someone tell me where to put it?

webbuddy,

The header.inc.php file in the INC directory is built when you install Dolphin. When I inserted the code above into the the header.inc.php file, everything worked correctly after that.

That is my whole issue - header.inc.php doesn't get created when I install for some reason? I looked at the inc folder and it is not there. That is what I noticed then when I found your thread it sounded similar to mine. So I don't have that file at all after I install. Know why that might be?

here is my page: blank

208.109.127.190/dolphinTest/admin/index.php

Looks like you have php errors, probably due to incorrect paths in the header.inc.php file. Turn on the display errors parameter in php.ini file on the server to see what the errors are. There should be several files in the inc folder, if not, re-copy the dolphin files to the web server. Once you run http://208.109.127.190/dolphinTest/install the header file should be created.If not, check the folder/file permissions.

thanks! I was wondering how to check my paths... I would do this in ssh, right? Can I do it via ftp or would it have to be as root user in ssh? I am figuring it should be through root. Know of a link I can go to to find this tutorial?

Did you get this sorted out yet?

Suggestion - IIS6 - perhaps not really recommended... try Apache.
