Dolphin (Boonex Software)

1. I had added Dolphin CMS into cpaddons so that users could install it similar to the way fantastico installs things

2. Technical Requirements
Dolphin requires the following pre-requisites for your server:

* Linux/Unix (Red Hat, Debian, FreeBSD, Mandrake, etc.) or Windows OS, Apache Web Server ver. 1.3

* If you're going to use media streaming features in some Flash apps, you should have VPS or Dedicated server in order to install and run RMS (Ray Media Server). You should be able to access root or administrator account on that server. JRE (Java Runtime Environment) ver. 1.6 or higher should be installed on the server as well.

* The ports 1935, 1936 and 5080 should be open on the server (where Dolphin is to be installed) and on the local computers of your site's members

* PHP 4.4.0/5.1.0 and higher

* register_globals must be Off
safe_mode must be Off
exec() (executable files) must be allowed
allow_url_fopen should be On
allow_url_include should be Off
open_basedir should not have any value memory_limit should be 128M or higher

* mbstring, domxml (only for PHP 4.x) and xslt extensions should be installed

* MySQL 4.1.2 and higher

* The magic_quotes_gpc extension is also required starting from Dolphin 6.1.5 version

* If some security module is installed on the server (such as mod_security for Apache), it should be able to be disabled or set up for specific folders.

* Direct connection to boonex.com should be able to be established (i.e. connection without requiring proxy authorization).

* You should be able to run executable files (necessary for ffmpeg.exe)

* The server should be able to read any document located in public_html directory via http protocol.

* GD library compiled with FreeType fonts (for photo processing) or ImageMagick as an alternative

* Sendmail or Postfix programs for sending emails

* Ability to create Cron Jobs

* 20MB of disk space and 1MB of MySQL DB space for installation

* 8MB of disk space and 50KB of MySQL DB space for an average user

* Your server should allow 15 KB/sec for media streaming capabilities for each user.

If all the above requirements are met on your server then you are ready for installation.

Check the Hosting page to choose among recommended hosting providers.

If you want to add Dolphin to your cpanel automatic installation you should follow these instructions. These instructions are for Hosting providers and/or VPS/Dedicated server holders.
