Tips & Warnings
Some versions of the Dolphin installer may not let you install Dolphin directly into your root directory so the Dolphin home page becomes your home page. If you encounter this problem, you can deal with it as follows so your home page becomes the Dolphin welcome page:
Launch Windows Notepad or your Mac text editor, and type "<?php header('Location: http://www.my-domain.com/dolphin/') ;?>" into a new Notepad file. Replace "my-domain.com" with your domain address.
Save the file under the name "Index.php," and close your text editor.
Log in to your cPanel per Step 1, and use the File Manager function to upload "index.php" into your main "/public_html/" folder.
Type your home page address into your browser, and look for the Dolphin welcome page.
