.htaccess problem

[glowpaint]

Hello

A few weeks ago I was having major problems after installation, entering the

 

oscommerce root and admin sections due to the .htaccess file.

I was informed to add the following line to the above files (in root and admin),

 

php_flag register_globals on

 

Up until this point I still can not gain access to the store. I have read most of

 

the documentation including the knowledge base but still it does not work, and I

 

desperately want to see it in action.

 

My web host uses,

Server Linux

Apache version 1.3.34 (Unix)

PHP version 4.4.1

MySQL version 4.1.21-standard

 

Could someone who understands the problem please send me the .htaccess files (root

 

and admin) made to work on the above web host server, to my email address at

 

[email protected] or write all correct text in a forum reply.

 

Note I have also tried

php_flag register_globals 1

php_flag register_globals 0

php_flag register_globals off

 

and many more combinations, without success.

 

Thank you in advance.

Well I read the above article, played around alot and still no luck.

 

I had a look at the "changing Admin Password flash tutorial, tried it and it doesn't work for me. I still get the bad password and 404 error as in tutorial

 

/.htpasswds/shop/admin <----- password

 

/public_html/shop/admin <---- admin

 

does the above directory structures look correct?

 

I even tried the Register Globals Patch Files on ur site.

 

This reminds me of the days of DOS. Great if you know DOS, terrible if you don't

 

Any more suggestions greatly appreciated

If you can access your php.ini file using SSH, if you can do that then let me know through mail i will help you to turn those on, i had the same problem when i installed... R u on a dedicated server or a shared?

Yes apparently my website IP is shared with some other web site

 

Hate to sound dumb but what is SSH?

 

Also, when you refer to the PHP.ini file are you refering to the .htaccess file? as I cannot find any Php.ini files in my installed dir.

 

thanks
