Doing Installs on Mac OSX Server Panther 10.3


Guest

Recommended Posts

I am trying to set osCommerce up on a Mac dual processor xServe w/Mac OSX Panther Server 10.3

Apache

MySQL

PHP Version 4.3.2

 

and

===============

I am having the 'register_globals' trouble similar to others, but....

But it doesnt seem to fix in the usual way... (read on)

 

I install as directed....

 

I go to:

http://[server.name.com]/catalog/install/install.php

 

results in:

"FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!"

 

Yeah yeah .. Ok I've seen this before...

===============

Did a phpinfo() on register_globals:

Says register_globals: Off (duh)

 

Also Says Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc

Ok... I've seen this too...

===============

Go to: /etc

THERE IS NO FILE THERE NAMED php.ini huh.. what... 8-\

 

BUT THERE => IS <= A FILE NAMED: php.ini.default (Ok... some apple weirdness)

Check it for the status of register_globals:

Yeah register_globals is there... (getting weirder)

 

register_globals = OFF

I change it to

register_globals = On

 

save changes

Restart machine (and therefore all services)

Check that all services are running just to be sure

===============

Thinking I have solved the problem...

I Point my browser once again at:

http://[server.name.com]/catalog/install/install.php

 

results in:

"FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!"

 

HUH... WTF....!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh....... 8-\

===============

Is anyone familier enough with OSX server to offer any help........?

Has ANYONE gotten t his to work on Panther Server...???

 

I am keeping a running log of install changes particular to Apples OSX Server Panther 10.3 fot others.

 

Thanks in advance

So put the php.ini.default that you edited in /etc and name it php.ini
