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

 

I just install my Ubuntu (debian base) linux . On top of it I install apache2 , php4 and mysql

 

when I try to open index.php I get the error listed above.

 

Could you please help me out please.

 

also when I do ; http://localhost it gives my directory list instead of trying to open my index.php.

 

 

thanks again

You need to edit the php.ini file and set register_globals on. The default value if it is not set is off.

 

Make sure you are editing the proper php.ini. Find the location by running a xxxx.php file in your browser with the phpinfo() command.

 

Also, double check that your apache config file has index.php as the default file to open in a directory.

 

Finally, restart apache after changing the config files.

For those new to php. The section you need in php.ini looks like this.

 

; Whether or not to register the EGPCS variables as global variables.  You may
; want to turn this off if you don't want to clutter your scripts' global scope
; with user data.  This makes most sense when coupled with track_vars - in which
; case you can access all of the GPC variables through the $HTTP_*_VARS[],
; variables.
;
; You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require
; register_globals to be on;  Using form variables as globals can easily lead
; to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of.
register_globals = Off

; This directive tells PHP whether to declare the argv&argc variables (that
; would contain the GET information).  If you don't use these variables, you
; should turn it off for increased performance.
register_argc_argv = On

 

Change

 

register_globals = Off

 

to

 

register_globals = On

 

and save the file.
