setup issues :(

This might be more of a hosting question.....But my server appears to meet the dolphin prerequisites perfectly and I am not able to get my new install working.

Basically, I have a test server where I have dolphin functioning perfectly. My new server just came in, so now I am installing dolphin on it in preparation of going live with the software.

Now, when I finish the dolphin install and it tries to redirect me to the home page, rather than displaying the contents of the page, it just displays PHP code.


At first I thought that maybe apache2 was malfunctioning, but I am able to create a php file and run it just fine from the root of the website.


I used the code below to test that:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

So it appears that only the dolphin code will not run. Any ideas? When the install finishes and redirects me to the home page, this is the PHP code that gets displayed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

not installed.
\n"; if ( file_exists( "install/index.php" ) ) { echo "Please, wait. Redirecting you to installation form...
\n"; echo " location.href = 'install/index.php'; \n"; } exit; } require_once( 'inc/header.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'design.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'admin.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'db.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'profiles.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'prof.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'members.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'news.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'utils.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'membership_levels.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'tags.inc.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_ROOT . "templates/tmpl_{$tmpl}/scripts/BxTemplVotingView.php" ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_CLASSES . 'BxDolArticles.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_CLASSES . 'BxDolClassifieds.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_CLASSES . 'BxDolEvents.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_CLASSES . 'BxDolBlogs.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_CLASSES . 'BxDolGroups.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_CLASSES . 'BxDolPageView.php' ); require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_CLASSES . 'BxDolSharedMedia.php' ); require( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_ROOT . "templates/base/scripts/BxBaseIndex.php" ); require( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_ROOT . "templates/tmpl_{$tmpl}/scripts/BxTemplIndex.php" ); check_logged(); $_page['name_index'] = 1; $_page['header'] = $site['title']; $_page['header_text'] = $site['title']; $_page['css_name'] = 'index.css'; $oIPV = new BxTemplIndexPageView(); $_ni = $_page['name_index']; $_page_cont[$_ni]['promo_code'] = getPromoCode(); $_page_cont[$_ni]['page_main_code'] = $oIPV -> getCode(); // add email to notify emails list if ( $_POST['subscribe'] && $_POST['subscribe_submit'] ) AddNotifyEmail($_POST['subscribe']); PageCode();

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The same thing happens when I try to go to the admin sections. The only dolphin code that will run is the code in the install directory. For some reason that displays just fine.

Theses results happened over and over (I've reinstalled/reconfigured my whole server about 5 times now).


So I'm guessing the solution to this is a setting somewhere. It appears that something is definitely missing. OH...and I've downloaded the dolphin install multiple times.........just to make sure something didn't get corrupt or something :\....at this point...I am trying anything.

Is short_open_tags on?

I turned on Short_Open_tag and now it just doesnt display anything. When I view source the page, nothing gets displayed.

Ok. Now turn on error reporting in PHP so it will show you the errors. A blank page usually means it's crapping out with a error of some kind.

Thanks guys! You both were a big help.

Which was?

It might help others if the cause of your blank page and the solution posted.

oh....well basically during the install, when you confirm the path to the webfolder, I kept taking out both forward slashes at the end so that it would match the other fields on that page.........but it turns out dolphin needed one forward slash at the end because it joins it with some other path that seems to be related to the "ray" application. So the path would come out incorrect since it was doing something like: /srv/www/webfolderray rather than /srv/www/webfolder/ray.
