	== I can't remember my Admin login and/or password. How can I restore or change it? ==

You should empty the Admins table and create a new admin record there.
The following script will allow you to do that. Place the script in the main directory of your Dolphin site, name it so its name would end with .php and run it in your browser, for example http://yoursite/admin_restore.php:
{{{
<?php
include("inc/header.inc.php");
include("inc/db.inc.php");
db_res("TRUNCATE TABLE `Admins`");
db_res("INSERT INTO `Admins` SET `Name`='ADMIN_NAME', `Password`=MD5('ADMIN_PASSWORD')");
echo "<h2>Success</h2>";
?>

}}}

where '''ADMIN_NAME''' and '''ADMIN_PASSWORD''' should be replaced with their real values.

	== I see this error on some of my site's pages: ''Call to undefined function: mb_ereg_replace() in /path_to_dolphin/inc/utils.inc.php on line 120'' ==

This error and similar errors (yielding about functions starting with '''mb_''') refer to '''mbstring''' extension being absent from your PHP compilation. You should either re-compile it with '''--with-mbstring''' directive (under Linux) or uncomment '''extension=php_mbstring.dll''' in '''php.ini''' (under Windows). Then you should restart Apache web server.

----

	== When I try to open somebody's profile, I get this page: ''Not Found'' ==

The problem is that your Apache server is not compiled with rewrite module or you don't have rewrite instructions in your Dolphin's root .htaccess file. These instructions should be as follows:
        {{{
        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
            RewriteEngine on
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
            RewriteRule .+ - [L]
            RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)$ profile.php?ID=$1 [QSA,L]
        </IfModule>
        }}}

    If you can't solve these problems, you can disable '''Friendly profile permalinks''' in '''Settings -> Advanced Settings'''

	== I see this error when I open my site: ''Warning: Missing argument 1 for !TopMenuDesign(), called in ...templates\tmpl_...\scripts\!BxTemplMenu.php on line 45 and defined in ...inc\menu.inc.php on line 250'' ==

Templates created for versions under 6.0.0004 will generate this error. But it can be fixed the following way:
	
    '''1)''' open '''templates/tmpl_TEMPLATE-NAME/scripts/BxTemplMenu.php'''
			
    '''2)''' replace
    {{{
$ret .= TopMenuDesign( ... );
    }}}
    with
    {{{
$ret .= TopMenuDesign( (int)getParam('topmenu_items_perline'), '</tr><tr>' );
    }}}
		
    This should solve the problem.

	== My security image doesn't show up. So no one can join my site ==

This may be caused by a few reasons:
	
1) You either don't have '''GD library''' or '''!ImageMagick''' installed.

2) If you still have GD library installed it may be not compiled with !TrueType fonts.

3) Another reason for this problem may be unchecked '''Use GD library for image processing''' in '''Settings -> Advanced Settings'''.

4) And at last, if you're using !ImageMagick, not GD library, you may have incorrect paths to its applications in '''inc/header.inc.php'''. In this case you should check the paths to '''$MOGRIFY''', '''$CONVERT''' and '''$COMPOSITE'''.

If all this doesn't help, you can just disable security image in '''Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Enable security image on join page'''.

	== I get this error message throughout my site: ''Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mb_internal_encoding'' ==

The default PHP installation does not always have the mb_string extension enabled, but the program requires that you run the PHP multibyte-string extension which is not enabled by default. In brief, in order to do this you will need to (in Windows):
   * uncomment out the line
{{{
extension=php_mbstring.dll
}}}
in the '''php.ini''' file
   * ensure that the path to this file is set correctly, again in php.ini, for example:
{{{
extension_dir = "./ext"
}}}
   * Note that you can ensure that this file is correctly loaded by setting in php.ini:
{{{
display_errors = on
}}}
   * Restart your webserver, e.g. restart Apache
   * You can check via phpinfo() that '''mbstring''' appears within the information page
   * Here's how to do it in UNIX-based systems: http://php.net/mb_string

	== I receive this error when I try to install Dolphin: ''The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request'' ==
	
This is most probably caused by some '''.htaccess''' instructions which your server refuses to handle.
These instructions usually are
{{{
php_flag register_globals Off
}}}
in the .htaccess file of the main Dolphin folder

and 
{{{
Options -Indexes
}}}
in the .htaccess files of the subfolders

Comment out these statements, for example:
{{{
# Options -Indexes
}}}
and try to run installation again.
