Emailed twice an hour. please help.

Let me first say that, the site is working really good. I do have a shared hosting account with godaddy. I'm running the latest dolphin release, 6.1 downloaded a week ago. I do have the .htaccess in place for registered globals and the php.ini file in my root directory.

No members are reporting any errors. however, I checked my domain based email and I get an email twice an hour from my cron jobs that looks like this...

color="red">register_globals is On (warning, you should have this param in Off state, or your site will unsafe)</font> <br /> <font color="red">mbstring extension not installed. <b>Warning!</b> Dolphin cannot work without <b>mbstring</b> extension.</font> <br /> <font color="red">XsltProcessor is Off, you should install XsltProcessor</font> <br /> <font color="red">XsltProcessor is Off, you should install XsltProcessor</font> <br />
Please go to the <br />
<a href="http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/GenDolTShooter">Dolphin Troubleshooter</a> <br />
and solve the problem.

I made this file called phpinfo.php then went to that file in my browser and it says that the registered global is off.

So what gives? Is my site unsafe????

Send this to your host, if your on a Godaddy shared server, then your php.ini file is probably NOT controlling the way you think it is, as most php.ini files are handled directly from the server's root and not individual accounts.  In addition, it's referencing mbstring's that must be set and those MUST be handled by the host on a shared server.

I did contact them and did not get a clear answer, I will try again and maybe get a rep that is a little more knowledeable.

Like I was saying the site is working fine on the surface. Members are able to sign up and upload music and photos.

I did do the phpinfo.php thing and it indicates everything is alright, I have heard the horror stories of shared hosting. I'm at some point going to switch to dosdawgs hosting company. I'm pretty terrified of moving a site that is up and running.

Moving a site is no big deal.  Just make an announcement to your members a few days before the move, then do it as you schedule it.  Just keep in mind, all sites will have small hiccups when they move but they can be ironed out incredibly quick with a just a few tweaks of the server.

I like trying to problem solve, SOMETIMES. I have spent hours combing the web and have found some ideas that may work and wanted to run by people here that may know. I am going to switch providers, just not at this very moment.

I read one suggestion that said to put the php.ini file in all of the subfolders.

Another suggestion said to rename the php.ini flie to php5.ini

Either one of those ideas sound good?

There has to be a reason this is happening, I get no errors in the admin panel of my site, I just found the cgi setting in my hosting panel and for both php 4 and 5 registered globals is off.

I am running php 5.

Are you sure you loaded D6.1 and not one of the betas? These are similar errors I got at first, and I believe my host installed the XsltProcessor on a php5 server for me.   I am still getting those global registers issues in d7b4 - in fact more of them now, and my host says I have to put a php.ini file in every directory where I encounter this error with the single line:

register_globals = 0

Good luck

Yeah, it's dolphin 6.1.6. Thanks for asking though, it never hurts to ask as you never know what is so easily missed.

Any ideas? I just checked the admin mail and it is still happening, according to "phpinfo" everything is fine. Like I was saying also the site seems to be working flawlessly with no errors.
