Hi,

Please help

You will either need to install the register globals contribution or upload a file named php.ini with register_globals=on in it. The file will have to go into your root and probably your admin.

Anything else needs to be on that file? any special tags or anything?

as you can tell, I'm a newbee and just started exploring.

that's all you need, nothing else,

just be sure to copy this file to root of ur shop, admin, includes and install directories,

you can also upload an .htaccess file with "php_flag register_globals on" in it to your catalog dir, includes dir and admin dir if the ini solution doesnt work for you

what I did was,

 

1) goto the start menu and search php.ini files

2) all the php.ini will appear

3) edit most of the php.ini

from register_globals = Off to register_globals = On

 

That is how I did it.

Unable to find php.ini on my computer. Do I need to create this file with one line called "register_globals = On"?

Are you hosting the site on your computer?

You would only look for the file on your computer is hosting the site.

No, I'm not hosting the site on my computer. This php.ini file does not show up on the hosting server. I'm receiving this error message: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it.

 

Not sure what to do next. My php programming skills are limited.

- Open a text editor, like notepad.

- type in register_globals=on

- save the file with the name of php.ini (your editor may append a .txt to it. If so, rename the file to php.ini)

- upload the file to your shops rooto directory and admin directory.

i have the same problem. i've tryed editing both the .htaccess file as well as create the php.ini wiht register_globals=on i am still getting the fatal error message when trying to install the software. i am starting to wonder if this is another issue with using godaddy.com :pissed:

I had the same problem, being more of a designer than a programmer I had no idea where to find php.ini so I used the register globals patch

 

Register Globals

 

Which, if you follow the instructions slowly, isn't that hard!

i just came over the same issue

you'll find a solution in osC Knowledge Base

Go to your .htaccess file in your root directory, uncomment the string that encompasses "register_globals 1"

Thanks Jack, I will create that file and upload tonight. I will let you know how it turns out.

I tried that approach, without success.

Jack - That worked. Thank you. Now I have troubleshoot a problem with the configuration file in the Includes directory. 644 will not work and I can't set the file to 444.

[Jack_mcs]

You may have to contact your host to see how to do that. Some hosts won't allow the permissions to be changed by normal methods.

Another alternative is to apply the register_globals patch contribution, and add the following lines at the top of the files:

 

$HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST;

$HTTP_GET_VARS = $_GET;

 

 

Then the following line to /catalog/include/boxes/languages.php

 

$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

 

 

(note, these lines should be added at the top of the file)

 

there may be other files that need to be patched, but this is what I've found so far....hope this helps some other people and saves some time! :)

[kevinmg]

and...

 

$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

 

to /catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php

 

(this one will fix the problem of not having the language files load - which leaves you with a bunch of unsightly CAPITALIZED_TEXT_LIKE_THIS instead of descriptions) :)

Put the PHP.ini file in the Main Directory and in your Admin Directory, worked fine for me, then make sure you secure your admin dir.

Oh man...i am really really pissed off...on the fresh installation my store was running fine but i had to change the look of my store...but as i installed STS v 4.5...my admin area worked fine but i am getting the following error...

 

"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 am so confused. I followed the steps to make the php file and uploaded to the right directory. But nothing changed. Same error and can't log in to admin panel. I looked into the other comment of uncommenting the global_1 but I don't really know what that means or how to do it. I am just about ready to unistall and go for another shopping cart option....

Hi! I have the same error, but i have a local server, only search in my c: disk for this file (php.ini) and found it in "program files" folder, in EasyPHP/conf_files and I search the frase "register_globals" into this file. Change his value "off" for "on". And then my page see fine.
