Quick Question On Test Server


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hey there, if I use easyPHP to design and test the site, can I upload that database to my hosting site or not?

 

How do you all build your sites? Locally or do you use the admin functions on the remote site?

 

Hope that make sense!

 

Thank you

Yes what you would do is do a backup in the osC admin and then create a database on your server and populate the database with the sql file from the backup. You then upload all your files to the server and change the setting in your two configure.php files and you are good to go.

The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing.

Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems?

There are many very useful osC Contributions

Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here

BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right??

Alright, before I have a nervous breakdown...I have installed easyPHP and here is the error I get

 

FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!

 

Now I have went through all the php.ini files and turned register_globals On, restarted the server and still get the same error...

 

What is the deal???

 

Thanks everyone!

Make sure you changed the right php.ini.

 

Run the admin->tools->server info program to see the path to the php.ini file that your webserver is using, or create a php file with phpinfo() in it to display the php settings.

Thank you for the reponse...actually I seem to have several php.ini files in various locations...I went through and changed all of them :huh:

 

Should that have worked?

 

I also tried placing a new php.ini file in the root directory with the following information

 

register_globals On

 

Was that correct or should the file have more information in it?

 

Thanks again!

All the files you changed still may not be in the path that the server is looking at.

 

Do what I said regarding the server info program or the phpinfo() command to verify the location of the php.ini. If the server doesn't find a php.ini ther, it probably goes with default values, including globals off.

Thanks for your help Tom, alright I ran the admin tool in easyPHP, found the php.ini file and it shows register_globals On

 

Man I have all the luck!

 

Any other ideas?

 

Sorry for the hassle!
