Server Requirement Error: register_globals is disabled in your PHP configuration. This can be enabled in your php.ini configuration file or in the .htaccess file in your catalog directory.

I've never had an install hang up on me or cause trouble, but it seems to happen often enough. There are server requirements listed from one of the links above. I don't know about using c panel, but if you just download the zip yourself and load the package using an ftp program, it should go fine. You'll want a good ftp program anyway, to make the shop your own (customize). Try reading my second blog post.

Create a file named PHP.ini in Notepad or WordPad

 

Type this in it;

 

register_globals = 1

 

Save it, ensuring that it is an .ini file and NOT .txt (php.ini.txt!), FTP it to your site and place it in your 'catalog' folder or whatever you named your shop's folder.

 

Try install again. If this doesn't work it is because 'Options' is turned off by your service provider for your website and you will need to contact them.

Alternatively you can install the Register Globals Patch Files (link below my name) and osCommerce will then work with Register Globals set to 'off' in php.ini

I found that when you make the php.ini file in text, just leave it in text format and upload it in to the store or

what you call your shop. You need to make sure that you put a copy of the file in your shop directory and the admin file, in order for it to work.

Then just rename the file in your file manager to php.ini

 

Also write the file as follows:

 

register_globals = on

 

It shall work everytime it has for me
