need help with installation..

Hi,

I download the Dolphin 6.1 + Free Ray 3.5 + Orca 2.0 and follow the setup instruction from text file.

When i run www.domain.com/install/index.php , I get the following errors.. please help...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mb_internal_encoding() in .../public_html/mycommunity/install/index.php on line 540

My Java is up to date and Media Server is running.

Thanks.

Maybe check your php.ini file to see if this mbstring PHP module is available... I'm far to be an expert, so be cautious with my info... but as for me I would search for php_mbstring.so in this php.ini file.

If you cannot find this mbstring module within your php.ini, ask your host provider to install it.

thanks.. when i comment out the mb function, it shows the install screen.. but i ended up problem at cron tab.

any advise? i do see the mbstring.so install

what problem did you end up with on the cron tab? please be more specific so you can get the help you are seeking. so the mb string problem went away? good deal, now please start another topic, to address your other issues. later, DosDawg

Mbstring is used by dolphin all the time. So it is recommended to install mbstring for your server. Ask your host.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the input.  I am back again with original problem.  I do not find any where in my cPanel or WHM about php module loading.  however, i do have a use access and was able to install php-mbstring rpm.  after installing the RPM, i enable the extension from php.in and restart the apache.  again, I still can not install from beginning.

this is my current setting in php.ini.

I just found this answer from klangschlaufe in an other post. Don't know if that can help you:

"you can't enable mbstring only in php.ini. mbstring has to be enabled whe compiling php from the source like #./configure --enable-mbstring ...."

that mean i have to recompiled the php. aww.. hassle. .i dont want to break anything on live server :(

You have to recompile the php with mbstring support.

Thanks again! :) working fine.. now i have issue.. i install MagicStick and it's not loading up the security image.

can we be able to disable the security image?

Don't know MagicStick... Do you mean ImageMagick ???  Do you mean that you just recompiled your php without GD library + true fonts ???

Yes, you can disable the security image at least on the join form from your Admin Panel - Advanced Settings and uncheck Enable security image on join page.

Check it but I think that the security image will still display in the Contact Us form...

oppps.. ImageMagic. :)

i don't see the security image option.   :(

@ yezawaung

Sorry for the wrong info  I'm still using Dol 6.0003... I checked the Admin Panel of 6.1.1 and didn't find this Enable security image on join page any more. You will find it as a block in the builders

Michael,

Thanks.  I was able to install and able to create use.  I also setup Ray Widgets through Admin Panel and I do not see those show up.  Do i need to install "desktop"?

the main idea of using this software for running community website with A/V Chat and IM. for around the world. :)

Security image is working just fine with GD library but needs true fonts enabled.

no you do not need to install desktop, actually i dont know very many that actually have desktop working. that is my project for the summer. but if you installed ray 3.5.1 it should be accessible via of the admin panel. so what exactly is it that you are having a problem with in ray?

DosDawg

Cannot answer... coz I'm not using Desktop application   but I think that it is something great. I will try as soon as my site upgrade to 6.1.1 will be completed. That's not for tomorrow as I will have so many mods to re-install

And you are right  that's quite amazing to run such website

Of course that needs to spend some money, lot of work, tons of cigarettes and coffee, ...some Aspirin against headaches too

post your access info and we can all jump in there and fix you up lol

If you have GD library with TTF font support, you will get the security image correctly.

If you use image magic. Install imagemagick and make sure add it with php extensions to start with other extensions in php.ini

Then goto admin panel and unckeck the field that shows "Use GD library for image processing."
