Urgent help with a contrib

[ladyk]

Hi there;
I'm new to this forum and hope I am posting in the right section.
I just installed the Enable/Disable Catagories contrib for my site
and now when I try to access either my Admin or my site I get this:

Server Requirement Error: register_globals is disabled in your PHP configuration. This can be enabled in your php.ini configuration file or in the .htaccess file in your catalog directory.

Can someone help me with this please?

Thanks in advance,
Karen

Welcome to the osCMax community! I hope you find this site a big help, and encourage you to come back often!

Add this to the .htaccess file in your public_html directory or catalog directory:

php_flag register globals on

This is unrelated to the mod you added, as osCMax requires this setting to be on.

Thanks Michael for your reply. I'll give it a try

Hi again;
I tried inserting php_flag register globals on
at the bottom of my htaccess file in my cart directory
and now I get a 500 Internal Server Error

Help??

My mistake...

Do this instead:

php_flag register_globals on

Sorry about that!

One last note: don't post a reply just to say thanks. Click the Thanks! button instead.

Hi, back again.
I tried inserting the new code that you offered and am still getting the 500
Server Error.
I decided to pull the contrib out and re did my files via comparison, but I still
get the
Server Requirement Error: register_globals is disabled in your PHP configuration. This can be enabled in your php.ini configuration file or in the .htaccess file in your catalog directory.
Have I totally botched things up? Help???

No, this is not something you did. It looks like your host turned off register globals on you, and also turned off your ability to turn it on through .htaccess.

You need to contact them and ask for it to be turned on for your site.

One last ditch try for you. Some servers like it formatted like this:

php_value register_globals 1

Put that in your .htaccess file and see if it works. Otherwise, contact your host for assistance.
