[jimwoolfe]

Hi all, Can any one help

 

What I want do do is install os commerce onto my local server and then intergrate into dreamweaver mx to develop a site locally and learn the program.

My local server is set up with my sql/phpadmin and works o.k when writing and testing dynamic app's coded in dreamweaver.

I copied oscommerce into local server folders and configered dreamweaver but when I tried to start the web based installation I got the following error

 

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

 

 

If any one can help I will be most gratful.

Hi Matti

Thanks for your quick response

Tried to find php.ini using search but no joy. Where should this file be ? is it part of os commerce or would it be in my server php files

 

I installed my server using a program called solkit. Does this make a difference

 

Thanks again

It should be in the root folder if you are using windows then try c:\windows\php.ini that should be the normal location.

i am also having trouble tring to find this file is there possibly another name for it as i am trying to find it on my sever under the /catalog/ directory

If you can't find the file php.ini on your local machine, it's because you haven't installed php probably.

Create a file called phpinfo.php containing this code

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

then upload this file to your catalog directory, navigate with your browser to the file and there you have the information for php including the path to php.ini
