Error when installing template

[Mr.81]

I've tried to install a new template and get the following error:

 

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.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks!

Thanks! Now I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error =/.

Damnn, I wish installing a new theme was as easy as on other shopping carts >_<.

Using something - as in your template - that requires register_globals to be switched on is a security risk and should be avoided at all cost. Best to rewrite the parts of code that require the register_globals so that they are not needed

[Mr.81]

I don't know how to do that =/ any other suggestions?

[Xpajun]

There is a register_globals patch that can be applied to the rest of "older" osC which also has general pointers to dealing with them in other files.

 

The only other options is to contact the author of the template to ask for a register_globals free version; not to use the template; produce a similar style to the template in osC itself.

 

The question is what sort of design are you looking for/at?

[Mr.81]

Hmmm, can you recommend anywhere to get templates?

[Mr.81]

I've just downloaded a template...however, the .zip only contains an "html" file and in the file is an images folder, style.css file and an index.html and index2.html file...how do I install this template? =/

 

Thanks for your help!
