path setting on a server

hi all , i moved my website to a dedicated server from a shared hosting,

my site is arabic language , on my shared hosting , the arabic chracters where showing , on my new dedictated server , they are not showing in all places , for example , the menus and navigation all showing ok ,

but for the profile page , does not show many of the arabic writing , shows strange things such as : الج&#1606
and in the ray music , the name of the song show in strange writing not arabic ,

i tried to install a fresh install and i got this warning on the third step " see warning below "

pls anybody with experience with dedicated server , if possible let me know what i need to do to set the paths for all the above , and if the language view problem is because if the wrong settings,

server admin , said all set correct , but as you can see it is not ,

any help will be greatly appreciated,

from what i can see it seems to be telling you

that you dont have enough privaligies to (/usr/local/bin/php

hmm

has php been compiled to support arabic language and is your server support the language as welll

Is this actually a dedicated server or a dedicated virtual.

These open_basedir restrictions i have only seen on virtual servers. This would not be happening on a real server. Or at least it shouldn't

hi all

my friend has the Dedicated server , and he opened an hosting account for me on his server, and he is an expert in dolphin scripts , but we still puzzled what to do ,

he says he set all the paths as should be ,

any advice how we can over come this issue ,

how we can compile the server to support arabic , and how can we have the server to have by default all the dolphin settings

i swear , i had 5 new grey hairs this week from this issue :(

zaq

Aparently he is not an expert, and you did not answer my question. Is this a real server, or a Virtual server?

Before you can deal with the language issues, you need to deal with the open_basedir problems.

These errors are occuring on install becuse dolphin is running tests to make sure the server has what it needs. Dolphin is searching using the file_exist function to find where php is, imagemagick, ect.

However the open_basedir setting in the php.ini file is preventing dolphin from doing that. You need to have him solve that first.

If it were my server i would solve that by setting open_basedir to none.

hi

thank you for your interest in helping me,

it is real dedictaed server ,

here is my php.ini file, have a look and see if all setting are correct

comment out the open_basedir by placing a ; in from of the line in the php.ini file.

Apache will need to be restarted after those changes are made.

Then try to install dolphin again. That should fix all those errors caused by the open_basedir restrictions.

your admin friend has not set up your permissions correctly. he can try assigning you to the same group as apache ie. 500 and then ensuring the php files and directories are also grp 500

you are making life difficult by installing into /home/..../public_html/ i advise the simpler way of setting up apache virtualhost containers for each domain on the IP then assign a unique directory in /var/www for each domain. if your friend is worried about your access permissions he can chroot your ftp to your /var/www/webroot

also check your db collation is either utf8_bin utf8_unicode or language specifc collation for arabic, the mysql default is swedish/latin

if you dont understand this advice then show it to your admin and he will know what to do

thank you for your advice ,

and you think the language prob will be solved as well , ?

i compared the php.ini in the server to the php.ini of my old shared hosting and i saw the following

in the new server : arabic language characters not showing in all placed in dolphin and ray ,

SQLite

in the shared hosting , ( arabic language was showing in full through out dolphin and ray , and youtube mod )

SQLite

from my limited knowledge i know all my PHP file containing arabic , i make them utf8 , and on the database , MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) .

can this be the cause of the arabic not showing ?

zaq

The change to the php.ini file is only intended to correct the errors during the install. It will not correct the language problem.

But yes, the difference in the sql encoding may be the cause.

In any case i do not believe the language issue is a problem with dolphin. I think you are on the right track with that one. It has something to do with the database. The export procedure, import procedure, database encoding, ect.

hi Deano ,

thank you for your advice , it did solve the warning message , and now all dolphin arabic language showing correctly ,

just youtube mod is not showing the video name if it is in arabic

thank you for your time
