sukhada Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hi I am trying to install osCommerce on my server. The requirement to install osCommerce is we have to make "register_global" setting ON. I want to know why does it need that setting ON? Generally we keep this setting in OFF condition. I am using a shared server and my other sites which are hosted on that server are getting affected when i make "register_global" setting ON. Now, how should i solve this problem? Egarly waiting for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 You can set the option to be on by creating a file named php.ini and placing the following in it register_globals = On Upload the file to the root and the admin directory. Or, you can install the register globals contribution and leave the setting off.

zarren Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hey sukhada Open notepad and type this in EXACTLY how you see it "php_flag register_globals on". Then click save as choose the save type as all files and save this file as .htaccess place this file into your catalog directory of your server and this should solve your problem. Alternativly download register globals patch in the contrib section of the oscommerce website. Hope this has helped Zarren HiI am trying to install osCommerce on my server.

Guest Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hello, I added that entry to the .htaccess file and it works, but I can´t go further than Step 2, as any time I click next step, the page is refreshed and can´t move forward. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
