Critical Installation Error Dolphin7

Hello

I am evaluating Dolphin 7 for usage in a larger community profject. I tried the trial on my local XAMPP for Windows. But before the last istallation part (Modules). I don't know where this comes from.

Could somebody help me please?

Hello,

First up it seems your php version is too low for the technical requirements that dolphin software requires. It states the following error message "PHP version too old, please update to PHP 5.2.0 at least". Without looking at anything else too closely I am going to direct you to the prerequisites for installing dolphin software:

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

Now, after some editing of php.ini it says

mbstring extension not installed. Warning! Dolphin cannot work without mbstring extension.
Please go to the
Dolphin Troubleshooter
and solve the problem.

But - php.ini:

; Windows Extensions
; Note that ODBC support is built in, so no dll is needed for it.
; Note that many DLL files are located in the extensions/ (PHP 4) ext/ (PHP 5)
; extension folders as well as the separate PECL DLL download (PHP 5).
; Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.

extension=php_bz2.dll
;extension=php_curl.dll
;extension=php_dba.dll
;extension=php_dblib.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll

php_mbstring.dll is available in ...\php\ext\

:(

As it said, your probably do not have it enabled. If not then do so. If all else fails then post your php.ini file in the forum. ONLY if that fails.

Hello

thank you for your help - now it works :)

Dolphin 7.0 is boombastic :)
