Guest Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 I uploaded the catalog folder on my server and now when I try to run http://www.dawsondcr8.com/catalog/install/install.php, I get an error massage that reads, "FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!". Any suggestions would be appreciated.
3dcandy Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 I'm having exactly the same problem...reading through the PHP docs, register_globals is OFF by default now!!! Anyone with any ideas???
Guest Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 It is settled then... My hosting company's tech support replied: The php configuration is set with register_globals disabled for security reasons. In a shared hosting enviornment it is VERY insecure to have register_globals enabled since it would allow other to access the global variable defined by other customers. We cannot change this configuration, we recommend you find an alternative software package or seek support for the package so that it does not require register_globals. Oh Well!
3dcandy Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Same from my hosting company....BUT I really like what I've seen from oscommerce. Anyone know of a workaround, and seeing as PHP from V4.2 onwards has deprecated register_globals and has it off by default, soon everyone will be running into this issue...
