marsupial Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I have searched the forums and tried many different things but as yet no solution so I am asking directly. I have a working website using OSC which took me quite a while to get going but it has been running for a few months now quite nicely. I realised that adding contributions to a live website is a bad thing and very risky so I backed up my entire website to my local machine and installed Xmapp. I have imported a copy of my live db using PHPmyadmin no problems and Apache/MySQL is running fine, I can see it in http://localhost. I moved my website which is under the catalog directory to D:\XMAPP\xampp\htdocs so now I enter http://localhost/catalog but I get the common error message below: "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" Now I have php.ini in the root dir and everywhere else needed as I had to do it to get my original site working so why isn't it working here? my .htaccess file has it set to 1 and uncommented as well. I thought I may have to do the same for a root php.ini or htaccess file but I can't see any to do it to. Can someone please advise as to what the problem may be seeing that this is a copy of a working site and not a new install? Cheers Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Stephen OK I got that sorted and then managed to change all links that were pointing to my actual domain to now use localhost so all local files are used. I have another issue now, I cannot access admin. I keep getting: The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script. ERROR 500 Any ideas? I am almost there I can feel it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsupial Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 finally got past that by deleting both .htaccess files so now I can see the very first admin screen but when I select any option from that screen I get this error: Localhostd cannot connect to server Can someone please help with this issue?
