weasal Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I am in the process of installing osCommerce but having some problems. Initially I followed instructions and changed the configure.php files to 777 but the error I initially got was _______________ 'FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it' _______________ I then did some research and modified some php files according to a contibution by Richard Bentley which I followed and re-installed http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri.../search,bentley SO... I can now reach the install screen with no fatal error (at last!) but I haven't been able to do the last thing which is to disable the register_globals option in php.ini BUT NOW I am getting a permissions error... _______________ A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again. _______________ According to the contribution README I need to edit php.ini My question is - where do I find this file and how do I modify it? I am totally new to PHP files having been brought up on html - Sorry!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 if you are on a shared server then your host is the one who controls that, thus you may need to install the register_globals contribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
