2 Problems, newb installer

[Rastlore]

Hello all, this is my first install of osCommerce, and up to know it has been a painless experience.

 

I have gone thru the intallation, database was built properly. configure files all ok.

 

So I get to the complete page, and there are buttons to go to the catalog or the administration page.

 

I go to the catalog, and it displays fine with the sample database (you can see it yourself here http://www.cangib.com/da/)

 

1st problem is, any link or image I click on, brings me to a blank page. Same happens in any link/image I click on in the admin tool.

 

2nd problem (which could be the reason for the first problem). I kept getting the error -> FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it! So i asked my service provider and they told me something about security, and told me to put these 2 lines of code to get around it :

 

ini_set('register_globals', '1');

ini_set('display_errors', '0');

 

I put those 2 lines in the very top of the application_top.php but I still get the error. Now to get around this, I just commented out the steps :

 

// check if register_globals is enabled.

// since this is a temporary measure this message is hardcoded. The requirement will be removed before 2.2 is finalized.

// if (function_exists('ini_get')) {

// ini_get('register_globals') or exit('FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!');

// }

 

But this is obviously not right. Just wondering how to fix it so I don't get the FATAL ERROR message any more.

 

Well hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks alot.

 

P.S. I am new to PHP btw.

Look below my name for the Register Globals Patch Files. Only install these files on a new website, not an established one with Contributions added.

Is there anything you can do for a site that has already had contributions installed? I am doing a site for someone and they moved their site to a new server and they are getting that error.

 

thanks
