Thread: problem in configuring dolphin

m having few problems in configuring dolphin at my home pc, when i open the dolphin/install/index.php page and go to the step of specifying paths there are two problems
1) i've installed gd library, but it says 'GD library NOT installed'
2) i've tried to do ImageMagick as an alternative, wen I compile and build the ImageMagick as expained, it works fine, but wen i try to run the test command convert logo: image.jpg, it gives me error of 'invalid parameter image.jpg'

if i continue with the default values of paths for ImageMagick, then specifying the Database tab's values n Configuration Tab's values, it shows blank page for Cron Jobs after a lot of time.

M not being able to understand that wats wrong with it, where the problem is? M exactly following the steps explained in the Intall file of dolphin e.g. creating database as well as user etc

I've installed apache, php n mysql using PHPTriad. m also using PHPMyAdmin, it's working fine.

I wud be really helpfull if someone gets me out of it, m in urgent need of confguring dolphin at my local machine.

Hi,

Using Windows?

yeah m using Windows XP

While you can get it all working on WinDoze with some effort - it is perhaps better, and more "real world" to get a cheap Linux hosting account and do it there.

Most people in the past who have tried to get it all working on Windoze only did so after lots of putzing.

yeah u r rite, but m not rite now planning to host on live server, just want to have an idea of how it works, how it looks like etc. thanks for the help

Hi,

Yes - but you can get a cheap one all over the place for $3 bucks a month that is large enough for testing, and comes with cpanel.
