HershelSR Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 Hi, newbie here. :) We have succesfully installed Php on our Win 2K / IIS server. It appears that it works (I do have PhpCollab running) but when I attempt to view the install docs for osCommerce, I get this: Notice: Undefined index: language in E:InetpubDomainsxxx.comtep-docsdocumentationincludesglobal.php on line 15 Notice: Undefined variable: language in E:InetpubDomainsxxx.comtep-docsdocumentationincludesglobal.php on line 23 Warning: main(languages/.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in E:InetpubDomainsxxx.comtep-docsdocumentationincludesglobal.php on line 23 Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'languages/.php' (include_path='.;c:php4pear') in E:InetpubDomainsxxx.comtep-docsdocumentationincludesglobal.php on line 23 Am I missing perhaps a Php module? Thank you, Hershel Robinson
RangeR Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 What version of PHP did you install? What version of osCommerce is it? Can you view any other php files on your server. You said that you have phpCollab installed. Does this work correctly? If you have osCommerce 2.2, it might just be a bug as it's still in development. Have you tried the latest copy of 2.2? I've also noticed in 2.2 that the documentation isn't fully finished yet and I reckon it won't be until 2.2 get's released proper. Regards Keith Burke 8) Ireland Have you ever stood and stared at it?

HershelSR Posted January 23, 2003 Author Posted January 23, 2003 The Php was installed last week using the latest version. osCommerce was installed this week using the 2.2 snapshot of a few days ago. phpCollab does appear to be working. Could there be an issue with osCommerce requiring rgister_globals to be On and it being Off by default in my Php install? Thanks for your help, Hershel
Christian Lescuyer Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 Could there be an issue with osCommerce requiring rgister_globals to be On and it being Off by default in my Php install?Certainly. register_globals is now off by default in recent PHP versions. You don't have to enable it for all sites, though (admittedly a bad idea). Just add a .htaccess at the root of osCommerce: php_flag register_globals on Actually, my whole .htaccess is: php_flag register_globals on RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^$ /catalog/catalog/ [R] DirectoryIndex default.php Christian Lescuyer
HershelSR Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 register_globals is now off by default in recent PHP versions. You don't have to enable it for all sites, though (admittedly a bad idea). Just add a .htaccess at the root of osCommerce: Thanks for the tip, but .htaccess only works for Apache and we run IIS. I can change this flag globally however. Can I ask a potentially stupid newbie question, however? If register_globals=on is a potential security risk, why does osCommerce still require it? Thanks, Hershel
Christian Lescuyer Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 In the beginning, a long time ago, men... Oh, well. First there wasn't the emphasis on security we have now. Second, PHP was initially written to jazz up home pages, not to support business applications. So register_globals was on because that made things easy. Now... it's on the todo list.
