Installation problem on windows IIS and php.ini

[kenora]

I am having problem installing osCmax2.0 on windows running IIS. I got this error::: FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!

Even after setting

regular_globals = Off and regular_long_arrays = On

regular_globals = On and regular_long_arrays = On

regular_globals = Off and regular_long_arrays = Off and so on.

Please tell me what to do.

If I recall the instructions for installing PHP right, You have to have a copy of PHP.INI in the folder where you installed PHP and also in the main windows folder. I have made it a habit to document the changes in that file and why they were done so I know what it fixed and when the changes were made, then I save the file in both locations, so I know they are the SAME!

Also make sure that you stop and restart IIS services ANY TIME you make a change to that PHP.INI file. Windows SERVICES especially have a load and forget type mentality mostly. Meaning once PHP is "started" it will never refer to that PHP.INI file again, until you stop IIS and restart it.
Let me know if you dont know how to stop and restart IIS.

Hi Rkah I don't have php.ini problem. I was trying to help Kenora, I run my own windows server 2003 never had a problem with it. I even host sites on my server for other people. thank you anyway for the info.

And I the same. If you are fairly new to PHP this can trip you up. There is not a lot of posts on here dealing with osc/oscMAX WIMP platforms so any help that I can provide I definitely put it out there. I would rather someone get the answers than give up completely. I think oscMAX is a great contribution to open source, and we need to keep people moving ahead with it.

I did have to turn on Long_arrays, and Register_Globals to get my installation working completely on Windows,IIS, MySQL5, and PHP5 with oscMAX v2.
