register globals error

Hi,

I just uploaded OpenCart to my server, went to the store homepage and saw an error on the "Register Globals" line - mine shows on (see attached file).
I looked at the PHP.INI file and it says "register_globals = Off" . I emailed my host about this and got the following response:
Try adding this line to your .htaccess file:

php_flag register_globals off

1- should i do this?
2- if so, where is this file typically located?

TIA.

1- should i do this?

Yes.

2- if so, where is this file typically located?

The same directory where you installed your Opencart.

You can ignore this warning as OpenCart already deals with this.

I believe Daniel is removing this check from the next version.

Phil.

thanks for the responses.
my host ended up doing something themselves to fix this for me and installation was successful.

However, when i try to access the demo shop or the admin page i get warning & fatal error & can't see anything. Can I post the details in this thread or should i start a new topic in a different section?

Please post your error message here. Also, what's the URL of your Opencart site?

url is http://www.absilver.com/opencart

error when i go to the above url:
Warning: require_once(/var/www/html/opencart/system/startup.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/opencart/index.php on line 12

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/var/www/html/opencart/system/startup.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/opencart/index.php on line 12

when i add /admin I get:
Warning: require_once(/var/www/html/opencart/system/startup.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/opencart/admin/index.php on line 6

Does your /var/www/html/opencart/config.php contain the following line?

Code: Select all

define('DIR_SYSTEM', '/var/www/html/opencart/system/');

Yes it does.

any ideas?

I just uploaded all the folders again and now i'm able to access the store - www.absilver.com/opencart .
However, I still can't access the admin section. When I try to go to www.absilver.com/opencart/admin I get the following:

Warning: require_once(DIR_SYSTEMstartup.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/opencart/admin/index.php on line 6

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DIR_SYSTEMstartup.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/opencart/admin/index.php on line 6

I checked the admin folder and I see an index.php file in there. Any ideas?

you config file has not been writen.

Hi Daniel,

sorry for the potentially silly question but i'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to web design.
can you elaborate on what "you config file has not been writen." means ?

Make sure your config files /var/www/html/opencart/config.php and /var/www/html/opencart/admin/config.php have been correctly created by the installer.
