OS Commerce Installation Problems

[lauravin]

I load it onto the site and whenever I try to go to the page it says this message "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."

How am I supposed to fix that!!??
Help anyone! Please!

As it says, you need to enable register_global in your php.ini file.

Your php.ini should be in public_html. Once you've found it, open it up and find the line: register_globals=Off and turn it on (register_globals=On).
Then, if you have FastCGI turned on (through cPanel), just save the file and that's it. If FastCGI is off, you'll need to copy the altered php.ini into every directory with php files that you want affected.

You should be aware that register_globals is a large security risk, but since this is osCommerce, I don't think there's much that can be done.
