totoro1 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 hi all, can you please help? i am currently installing oscommerce on my local computer and have the catalog folder installed in the www folder in easyphp. I have come to the part where I am supposed to run the install script. However, when I point my browser to http://myserver/catalog/install/index.php it says: fatal error: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it what does this mean and what can i do?

241 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 locate the php.ini file for easyphp this should be in the apache folder open this file and search for this register_globals = Off under the Data Handling section and change it to register_globals = On save the file and restart the server or create a file called phpinfo.php and place this code in it <?php phpinfo(); ?> place the file in your www folder with your other php files then browse to the file, this file will give you the information for php on your system and also the path to php.ini No longer giving free advice. Please place deposit in meter slot provided. Individual: [=] SME: [==] Corporation: [===] If deposit does not fit one of the slots provided then you are asking too much! Is your Osc dated try Phoenix raising oscommerce from the ashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 you need to go into your windows directory, where php.ini is, edit it, locate register_globals and set to on. http://internetmaster.com/installtutorial/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
