Installation Step 2: Message "register_globals" =

Post by nehemia »

I wanted to install phpwcms 1.2.9 pre. At the 2nd step of Installation in Point 2.4 appears a message at PHP settings? 'register_globals ON (should always be set Off)'

Now my question: What is wrong and where can I fix it?

Any advice? Thanks in advance.

With register globals on, someone can inject variable settings in your system, which might bring a security risk.

A good setup tells you to handle this carefull, and this is what is happening. This has nothing to do with phpwcms.

This is to be changed in the php.ini .. mostly with root priv. for your server (Your Hoster has) . If you have "root" entrance look at /etc/php.ini (f.e.)
