install error register globals disabled?

[kidwired]

I'm using snapshot as of 4/6 and copied up admin and catalog, set permissions on configure files and go to url/catalog/install then get this message.

FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in

php.ini, please enable it!

 

I have no idea what that is, anyone?

[kidwired]

I found and edited etc/php.ini and still get the error, obviously something else needs to be done?

If you edited your php.ini ( i assume it is on your own server) you have to restart your server

Thanks, I need more info on this.

what service do I need to restart?

I can't restart the box and shouldnt need to.

I checked and found that register_globals is On, and restarted httpd, but still get the error.

 

Quick note: I tarballed an installation from one server and moved it to mine for testing, and reconfigured the config scripts to work with the new paths and DocRoot, but I never ran the "install". Would that break anything, or did I miss a configuration setting somewhere? Thanks.
