hi when i go to change the configure.php file to 777 it wont change it goes back to 700 and im getting this msg on the domain http://nannyspetals.com/catalog/install/

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

 

any help would be great sorry if this sounds stupid to any one but im pulling my hair out :blink:

have you installed the globals patch?

 

if you have and it was the configure file is writable error msg displayed there is a chmod.php file i used (from the forums here) to set the configure.php file.

 

create a file called chmod.php ( or whatever)

 

write this in the file:

 

<?php
chmod('includes/configure.php', 0400);
chmod('admin/includes/configure.php', 0400);
?>

 

upload it to your catalog folder and type the address to the file in your browser window.

ie; www.mysite.com/catalog/chmod.php

 

Configure file is set - easy huh !

 

I had to do this because my ftp program would not chmod it !

 

to set the globals fix search the contributions for the register globals patch.
