    55    [http://www.boonex.com/products/dolphin/download/ Download] and unzip the Dolphin package. 
    66 
    7     * If you are going to upload Dolphin to a remote web server, download it to your computer with your favorite web browser and unzip the package into some folder on your local computer. 
    8  
    9     * If you have shell access to your web server, you may wish to download the Dolphin archive directly to your web server using the '''wget''' command. 
    10  
    11     {{{ 
    12 wget http://get.boonex.com/Dolphin-v.6.1-Free 
    13     }}} 
    14     (for the Free version) 
    15  
    16     or 
    17     {{{ 
    18 wget http://get.boonex.com/Dolphin-v.6.1-AdFree 
    19     }}} 
    20     (for the Ad-Free version) 
    21  
    22     Then you will be able to unzip the package under your shell account using the following command: 
    23     {{{ 
    24 unzip -d Dolphin-v.X.X Dolphin-v.X.X.zip 
    25     }}} 
    26  
    27     "v.X.X" stands for the version index. Thus, the Dolphin package will be extracted into the folder called Dolphin-v.X.X in the same directory where you have uploaded Dolphin-v.X.X.zip. 
     7    * If you are going to upload Dolphin to a remote web server, download it to your computer using a web browser and unzip the package into some folder on your local computer. 
     8 
     9    * If you have shell access to your web server (for UNIX systems), you may wish to download the Dolphin archive directly to your web server using the '''wget''' command. 
     10 
     11    {{{ 
     12wget http://get.boonex.com/Dolphin-v.6.1 
     13 
     14    }}} 
     15 
     16    * Then you will be able to unzip the package under your shell account using the following command: 
     17    {{{ 
     18unzip -d Dolphin-v.6.1.5.zip 
     19 
     20    }}} 
     21 
     22    * Thus, the Dolphin package will be extracted into the folder called ''Dolphin-v.6.1.5'' in the same directory where you have uploaded ''Dolphin-v.6.1.5.zip''.

    168163=== Permissions ===  
    169164 
    170 1. On the first page of the install process you can see the files and folders which permissions should be properly set up. There are two ways to do this: 
    171  
    172     * Using FTP client. 
    173          
    174     Log into your FTP account using your favorite FTP client and navigate to the folder in which you uploaded the contents of the Dolphin-v.X.X.zip archive. 
    175          
    176     Notice the folders and files names on the installation screen which are unwritable and set the following permissions using right click on the corresponding files and folders: 
    177     {{{ 
    178 777 for folders and ffmpeg.exe (777 means that the objects possessing these permissions will be readable, writable and executable). 
    179 666 for files (666 means that such objects will be readable and writable). 
    180  
    181     }}} 
    182          
    183     * Using shell client. 
     165On the first page of the install process you can see the files and folders whose permissions should be properly set up. 
     166   There are the following ways to do this: 
     167 
     168  1) If PHP is running as an Apache module on Unix systems 
     169 
     170    * Using a shell client. 
    184171         
    185172    Log into your shell account using your favorite shell client and change directory for that which contains your Dolphin script files. Now run the following commands under your SSH prompt: 
    186173 
    187     Dolphin/Ray/Orca folders and ffmpeg.exe to be writable for script operation: 
    188  
    189174    {{{ 
    190175chmod 777 ./backup ./cache ./groups/gallery ./groups/orca/cachejs ./groups/orca/classes ./groups/orca/js ./groups/orca/layout ./groups/orca/log ./inc ./langs ./media/images ./media/images/banners ./media/images/blog ./media/images/classifieds ./media/images/gallery ./media/images/profile ./media/images/profile_bg ./media/images/promo ./media/images/promo/original ./media/images/sdating ./media/images/sharingImages ./media/sound ./media/video ./orca/cachejs ./orca/classes ./orca/conf ./orca/js ./orca/layout ./orca/log ./periodic ./tmp

    193178 
    194     }}} 
    195  
    196     Dolphin/Ray/Orca files to be writable to perform the installation of all of them: 
    197  
    198     {{{ 
    199179chmod 666 ./inc/db_cached/MenuContent.inc ./inc/db_cached/PageView.inc ./inc/db_cached/ProfileFields.inc ./inc/db_cached/SiteStat.inc ./inc/params.inc.php ./inc/prof.inc.php ./periodic/cmd.php ./periodic/cupid.php ./periodic/notifies.php 
    200180 
    201     }}} 
    202  
    203     Ray XML files to be writable. This will allow you to install Ray Widgets via Ray Base easily: 
    204  
    205     {{{ 
    206181chmod 666 ./ray/modules/board/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/board/xml/langs.xml ./ray/modules/board/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/board/xml/skins.xml ./ray/modules/chat/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/chat/xml/langs.xml ./ray/modules/chat/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/chat/xml/skins.xml ./ray/modules/desktop/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/desktop/xml/langs.xml ./ray/modules/desktop/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/desktop/xml/skins.xml ./ray/modules/global/data/integration.dat ./ray/modules/global/inc/cron.inc.php ./ray/modules/global/inc/header.inc.php ./ray/modules/global/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/global/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/im/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/im/xml/langs.xml ./ray/modules/im/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/im/xml/skins.xml ./ray/modules/movie/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/movie/xml/langs.xml ./ray/modules/movie/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/movie/xml/skins.xml ./ray/modules/mp3/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/mp3/xml/langs.xml ./ray/modules/mp3/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/mp3/xml/skins.xml ./ray/modules/music/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/music/xml/langs.xml ./ray/modules/music/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/music/xml/skins.xml ./ray/modules/presence/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/presence/xml/langs.xml ./ray/modules/presence/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/presence/xml/skins.xml ./ray/modules/shoutbox/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/shoutbox/xml/langs.xml ./ray/modules/shoutbox/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/shoutbox/xml/skins.xml ./ray/modules/video/xml/config.xml ./ray/modules/video/xml/langs.xml ./ray/modules/video/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/video/xml/skins.xml

     185    * Using an FTP client. 
     186         
     187    Log into your FTP account using your favorite FTP client and navigate to the folder in which you uploaded the contents of the Dolphin-v.6.1.5.zip archive. 
     188    Now run the same commands as in the previous paragraph but replacing '''chmod''' with '''SITE CHMOD''' and placing every file or folder on a separate line, for example: 
     189    {{{ 
     190SITE CHMOD 777 ./backup 
     191SITE CHMOD 777 ./cache 
     192SITE CHMOD 777 ./groups/gallery

     194SITE CHMOD 777 ./groups/orca/classes 
     195SITE CHMOD 666 ./ray/modules/board/xml/config.xml 
     196    }}} 
     197         
     198  2) If PHP is running as CGI on Unix systems 
     199 
     200    In this case all folders should have 755 permissions and all files should have 644 permissions, except for the '''ffmpeg.exe file''', which should have 755 permissions. 
     201 
     202    To do this quickly, you can run the following commands when you're in the Dolphin installation folder under your SSH account: 
     203    {{{ 
     204find ./ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; 
     205find ./ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; 
     206chmod 755 ray/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe; 
     207 
     208    }}} 
     209 
     210  3) If your site is to be installed on Windows, you don't need to change any permissions. 
     211 
     212After all permissions are correctly set, click '''Next''' to continue. 
    214213 
    215214=== Script Paths ===

     265On the third page you will have to specify the database information: 
    267266         
    268267        * '''SQL file''': this is the relative path to the database creation file, which is determined by default. If your file resides in a different directory, you should indicate its relative path here. The base folder of the path is considered to be the Dolphin installation folder. 
     
    276275        * '''Database name, Database user and Database password''': here you should indicate the name of the database and the user requisites you created in the '''Step 2'''. Again, refer to the notes you made when creating the database and the user.

    309308 
    310309To set up cron jobs, use one of the following ways:[[BR]] 
     
    411410    Log into your FTP account using your favorite FTP client and navigate to the folder in which you have installed Dolphin script. 
    412411         
    413     Notice the chmod commands for specified folders and files on the final installation screen and set the following permissions using right click on the corresponding files and folders: 
    414     {{{ 
    415 755 for folders (755 means that the objects possessing these permissions will be readable and executable). 
    416 644 for files (644 means that such objects will be only readable). 
     412    Run the following commands:

    433437=== Step 5: Final Step === 
    434438 
    435     Now you need to perform some final actions to register Dolphin, Orca and Ray and compile Orca language: 
     439    '''NOTE: You should install [http://www.boonex.net/ray/wiki/RayServerInstall Ray Media Server (RMS)] if you're going to use Audio/Video features in some Ray applications (such as Chat and IM). Besides, some Ray applications won't work without Ray Media Server at all (such as Video Recorder and Whiteboard)'''. 
     440 
     441    Now you need to perform some final actions to register Dolphin, specify RMS for the Ray applications and compile languages for the Orca forum: 
    436442 
    437443    * You need to log into your Admin Panel and you will be given the prompt to register Dolphin. 
    438444         
    439     * Proceed to '''Plugins -> Ray Suite -> open a widget -> click "Register"''' - you should perform this for every widget. 
    440          
    441     * In case you're going to use RMS (Ray Media Server), proceed to the '''Base Settings''', check '''Use RMS''', specify '''RMS Address''' (the IP address of your RMS), '''RMS Port''' ('''1935''' by default) and '''RMS HTTP Port''' ('''5080''' by default). 
     445    * Proceed to '''Plugins -> Ray Suite -> Base Settings''', check '''Use RMS''', specify '''RMS Address''' (the IP address of your RMS), '''RMS Port''' ('''1935''' by default) and '''RMS HTTP Port''' ('''5080''' by default). 
    442446         
    443447    Click '''Save -> OK'''. If you see no error notification, your RMS is running properly. If the notification '''Can't connect to RMS''' appears, refer to this [http://www.boonex.com/trac/ray/wiki/GenRayTshooter#MyRMSwidgetsChatIMVideoRecorderendupinConnecting.WhatshouldIdo Troubleshooter] 
    444448 
    445     '''Note''': If you have installed the Free package, you can use !BoonEx RMS rather than install your own one. In this case you have to navigate to '''Base Settings''', tick the '''Use RMS''' checkbox and specify the following values: '''rms.boonex.com''' for '''RMS Address''', '''10000''' for '''RMS Port''' and '''10080''' for '''RMS HTTP Port'''. Click '''Save -> OK'''. If the notification '''Can't connect to RMS''' appears, report this problem to '''support@boonex.com''' 
    446  
    447     * Proceed to to '''Plugins -> Orca''' 
    448          
    449     Click the link '''en''' next to the '''Compile languages''' wording. 
    450          
    451     Click the '''Manage Forum''' link and specify your Orca license. 
    452          
    453     Navigate to http://your_site_url/groups/orca and click the link '''en''' next to the '''Compile languages''' wording. Refresh the page. 
    454  
     449    * Proceed to to '''Plugins -> Orca Forum'''
