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

[dindin1]

hi,

I am installing for the first time oscommerce.

 

I've followed the quick install guide by Vger.

 

I got to step 4 changed the permissions.

 

The folder prmissions are set to 755 and the includes/configure.php and the admin/includes/configure.php are set to 777

I am just following the instructions i am not a programmer.

 

In step 5 after I run mydomain/install from the browser I get this error.

 

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

 

I am hosting on godaddy.com

 

How do I solve this problem?

 

Thank you very much

You can go to php.ini to change "register_globals=false" to "register_globals=on", it normally in c:\Windows\.

 

Hope this can help!

I dont think its going to help if he changes his local php.ini. Obviously he is trying to install oscommerce online on a server with register_globals off. Im a noob myself but I had to do it myself a few days ago.

 

What you need is a patch e.g. this one :

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...egister+globals

copy it to your local osCommerce folder prior to uploading it and follow your install guide.

 

It will work with register_globals off. However youll have to integrate further contributions manually (which is normal if you have more then one i guess). Id suggest you get something like the phase5 editor and carefully read the readmes from your contributions.

 

Furthermore it might be wise to read a couple of php-tutorials so you atleast get a slight idea of what you are doing :)

 

good luck
