Port 80 is hardwired in the software

Why do the Dolphin developers insist on using port 80? I can't use port 80, in fact my ISP blocks port 80, and therefore I have to use an alternative port, to which I use a web hop service.

Dolphin is the only php based script that uses port 80 by default,,, I have other php sites running on my server that DOESN'T use port 80, and they are accessible with no problems.

It seems port 80 is appended to the url, IE, http://FQDN:port:80 by the install script:- (\$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], \$aUrl['host'] . ':80')

By not hard wiring port 80 in the script, it would allow other users to use an alternative port, and if Dolphin is installed on a web server running on port 80, then it would still run on port 80.

I don't see why Dolphin has to be made to run on port 80 anyway, php scripts can quite happily run on any port, in fact, Dolpin does not listen on a port, but instead would use the port that the web server is using.

So change the 80 you found in the install script to the port your running on.

Dolphin does this for the licencing system. The licence is for one url. They do this to ensure dolphin is redirected to the configured url in case your server is configured to respond to more than one url to ensure the licence works properly.

Thanks for the info,, I changed the port in the install script, it works like a charm.
