Hi all

 

I have just moved the catalog and admin files to var/www/html, they were in /var/www and nothing happened, i have just moved them and now i get the following error

 

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

 

What does this mean and how can i correct the problem?

 

Also what is the correct directory to install oscommerce??

I have tried //localhost/catalog/install/install.php

No that doesn't really help, ive tried /localhost/catalog and im still getting that error

 

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

 

i found a php.ini folder in /etc/php.ini as this is the only file i have for php.ini, does oscommerce have its own php.ini? where will i find this?

 

i have enabled the globals in php.ini and im still getting the same error message

 

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

 

Does any know what this means and how to slove it???? As ive said before i have enabled the globals so i dont know why im still getting the same error message!!

We need a better picture of your host setup.

 

- Are you hosting this on your desktop or remote web host? (if remote, who?)

- What operating system does the host use? (helps to locate php.ini, helpful if local)

- You need to post your catalog/includes/configure.php and catalog/admin/includes/configure.php here (except the username & password at near the bottom of the files, you don't want the world to have these info)

 

If you are hosting the store locally on your desktop/laptop, then it's just a matter of finding php.ini and edit the register_globals = Off to register_globals = On

Hi

 

i have php.ini in

[root@localhost etc]# find / -name php.ini

/etc/php.ini

I have changed the globals so that it now says 'On' but i still get the same error message!!

 

Im trying to install oscommerce onto my machine, no server or anything so just localhost and im using fedora core 2.

 

Here is my catalog/includes/configure.php:

1 very important thing is that you have to restart your server for the effect to initialise, hence the .ini extension.

 

Ahh i see, will restart now

 

Do i need to add anything to those configure.php files?

Is there anything else that will help me to install oscommerce??
