register_globals need to be ON: problem SOLVED

[m.devogel]

Hello all,

I wanted to run osCommerce v2.2 on my webserver, while register_globals=OFF.

Of course, I got an 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.

I did not want to change my value for register_globals, because of other applications running and safety.

Adaption the .htaccess-file gave not the wanted result.

 

But, I searched, and found this wonderful solution:

see: www.magic-seo-url.com/oscommerce/tips/running-oscommerce-with-register-globals-off.html

 

I changed the files as mentioned in the link, and now my OSC works FINE, while my register_globals are still OFF.

 

Try it, and have fun!

I would rather upgrade to a newer version of osCommerce.
