moonbeam Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 When I try to access my admin. I get this error: FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it! Why all of the sudden am I getting this? What is register globals? How do I fix it? Thanks again, Moon More than just my admin, I get it when I try to veiw the site too. Any ideas, could it be a server error? "Woohoo, Just Havin Funnn!"
crash3903 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 It is in the php.ini file and you are going to have to have root access to it - your host on a shared account is unlikely to enable it due to security asa work around you can install URL=http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2097/category,all/search,php.ini]this[/url] Regards Mark A Reynolds
Winterchild Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Your host set register_globals to off. Read more about register_globals and security here You probably don't have access to php.ini on your server. If you do have access set register_globals to on. If not contact your host and see if they want to enable register_globals. There's a fix in contributions section, but it's for a clean install and probably won't do you any good.

moonbeam Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 Thanks for the quick relplies! I have contacted my host with the problem. I am awaiting their reply... Just wasn't sure if it was something that I had done. I do have a tendency to muss things up as my signature states. Greatly appreciate you all, Moon "Woohoo, Just Havin Funnn!"
♥Vger Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 If your hosting company has switched Register Globals to 'Off' in php.ini they should have given their customers a warning that they were about to do it. To just do it and to have customer sites go down as a result is very bad. I do not normally recommend this, but to get your site back up and running (and because your hosting company have been so inconsiderate), put this piece of code in a .htaccess file in the root of your web. php_flag register_globals on Vger
moonbeam Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 Ok, I fixed it. It seems that they had posted a warning in their forums a few weeks back, I missed it because I usually hang out around here. It seems that would have e-mailed me though? Anyway, thanks for all the help. Always greatful, Moon "Woohoo, Just Havin Funnn!"
