Ok to do the Fast CHMOD step for Dolphin 7 you need ssh acces from your host and Putty
step 1: Login to putty (need to connect to your sites IP on port 22[or what ever your hosts SSH port is])
step 2: Enter the command "cd public_html"
step 3: Enter the Command chmod -v 666 ./modules/boonex/profiler/log/profiler.log ./inc/prof.inc.php ./flash/modules/global/xml/config.xml./flash/modules/board/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/board/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/board/xml/main.xml./flash/modules/board/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/chat/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/chat/xml/langs.xml./flash/modules/chat/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/chat/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/im/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/im/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/im/xml/main.xml./flash/modules/im/xml/skins.xml./flash/modules/mp3/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/mp3/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/mp3/xml/main.xml./flash/modules/mp3/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/video/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/video/xml/langs.xml./flash/modules/video/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/video/xml/skins.xml ./flash/modules/desktop/xml/config.xml./flash/modules/desktop/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/desktop/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/desktop/xml/skins.xml./flash/modules/global/data/integration.dat ./flash/modules/global/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/video_comments/xml/config.xml./flash/modules/video_comments/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/video_comments/xml/main.xml /flash/modules/video_comments/xml/skins.xml./flash/modules/photo/xml/config.xml ./flash/modules/photo/xml/langs.xml ./flash/modules/photo/xml/main.xml ./flash/modules/photo/xml/skins.xml
Step 4: Enter the command chmod -v 777 inc backup cache cache_public langs media/ap media/images media/images/banners media/images/blog media/images/classifieds media/images/membership media/images/profile media/images/profile_bg media/images/promo media/images/promo/original plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/HTML plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/CSS plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Test plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/URI flash/modules/board/files flash/modules/chat/files flash/modules/photo/files flash/modules/im/files flash/modules/mp3/files flash/modules/video/files flash/modules/video_comments/files flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe media/app
step 5*: Enter the command chmod 777 -v tmp plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/HTML plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/CSS plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/Test plugins/htmlpurifier/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/URI media/app
*Not for Step 5: This will CHMOD and Files that Step 4 missed. This might need to be changed to match what files your server missed (if any) so dont say i made an error when I posted.
Step 6: at the end of the installation run chmod 555 -v inc and all the install CHMODing has been done. Hope this makes the installation of dolphin alot faster for you. :)
step 7:
this information is all well and good, however, this will not work on every installation that is out there. and many people are not aware of different setups and configurations, regardless if they have ssh access or not.
step 1. NOTE, not all ssh is on port 22, port 22 is the default port, and depending on the sys admins liking, this could very well be some other port, raises the need to contact your hosting service provider to verify they are on the default port of 22 for ssh connections.
