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

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"

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

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"

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

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

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"


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.

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 -> Permalinks.

In 6.1 version you can apply this solution for other permalinks part - articles, news, blogs, classifieds, groups and galleries. Don't forget after disabling permalink options to recompile navigation menu builder in admin panel->builders->navigation menu builder (just move any block there).


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.
