Following PHP Server Settings are not optimal for Security and it is recommended to change them:

* PHP register_globals setting is `ON` instead of `OFF`


This is a brand new install and I'm a bit overwhelmed right now. I've searched but can't find out to change the settings. Can someone help?

welcome to the forum!

You can turn this off in your global configuration, in administrator page.
Go to "Site" > "Global Configuration" > Tab: Server and then on the bottom of the page Register Globals Emulation. Set this setting to Off.

That is what I thought it was except that it is set to OFF and I still get the message.

hello,
in case you have cache enabled you need to go to administrator/system/clean all caches followed with a visit to configuration/tab cache switch off cache save...

logout/clear your browser (in IE ctrl + f5) and login again

if this does not help you might want to use this and post: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=272480

All you need to do is open up note pad and put this code in it.

register_globals = off

Save it as a php.ini file and upload it to your administrator file folder on you website. That is it.

Have a great week,

Major

this is only valid if you run the webserver as cgi (suphp/phpsuexec). if you run it as apache it won't work and needs adjustments in htaccess if any.....

Hi all,

I'm having the same problem. I've done as you suggested, but still no luck. I don't have cache enabled, but I still checked it to make sure that' s not the problem, no dice. I even used a different browser and still no luck. Can you PLEASE help me? I'm familiar with HTML and PHP but not Joomla and this is totally frustrating me. >:(

Thanks for any guidance in advance!

Cali

Edit - okay I got that fixed, but I have problems with the insert/edit image and links windows being empty. Can I post this here or should I post this somewhere else? I'm Desperate!!! I thought changing the PHP problem would fix this.

PLEASE HELP!!

Note: Hostgator will not allow you to set php settings in .htaccess file.

See:
http://forums.hostgator.com/phpsuexec-b ... tml?t=8822

create a new file: php.ini

In folder:
/public_html/administrator

With these two lines:
register_globals = off
display_errors = off
(No need to put file anywhere else)
(Note error will not disappear after you make changes, proceed and bring system up)


Now verify your changes:
Delete browser cache.
Signon to Joomla as the Administrator.


In the Administration Panel
Select
Site
System Information
PHP Settings
Review values for
register_globals & display_errors
