register_globals is disabled in your PHP configuration

[Uberbot]

Hi all.

 

When I try to initially log into my new osCommerse site at hostname/catalog/install, I get this error message:

 

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.

 

So, I went and did a find for all of the php.ini files and came up with:

 

/etc/php/apache2-php5/php.ini

/etc/php/cli-php5/php.ini

 

In each one, I modified the line

register_globals = Off to

 

register_globals = On

 

But I'm still getting the same error message in my web browser. How do I fix this?

 

TIA,

Mike.

Hi Uberbot,

 

First off, im completly new to all of the stuff here, so im not any professional or whatsoever :) Im currently using Apache 2.2, php 4.4.6. and the newest osCommerce (trying too;))

 

But as i had the exact same error last night, and got it solved quite easily, i thought i post it here.

 

As i said, i received the same error, and therefore i also put the register_globals = on in every imaginable php.ini file i found, but it did not solve my misery.

But i remembered then the command "PHPIniDir = %PathToPHP.INI" thing which i had to enter in my apache httpd.conf, and checked this one up. And of course it was wrong. Changing it then to the right path, pointing to my actual php.ini, solved this problem then for me.

 

Maybe this might help you too

That did it! Seems that the "=" wasn't needed/wanted, but once I put this line in my config file and restarted, it stood up like a champ!

 

Thank you.

 

Mike.
