I have just ran the admin/install/install.php address for the first time after uploading all the files, and I got this message towards the bottom of the page: Any ideas on what to do?

Well, as it says, you need to turn on the register_globals setting in PHP. This is done in a file called php.ini. If you don\'t know where that file is, use the script admin/install/info.php and look for \"php.ini\" in the first block of the resulting page. Don\'t forget to restart your webserver after you made that change. bye, Dirk

I found the file where you pointed me to, but all that was inside it when I went to edit it I didn\'t find anything like what you mentioned. Now am I supposed to point my browser to that location?

You found the php.ini? It should have a line that readsin it. You need to change the Off to On and restart your webserver. bye, Dirk

I pointed my browser to the url info.php and on the bottom it said this: php_flag register_globals on But it still says that it is off.

I\'m somewhat confused now ... Did you edit the info.php? You shouldn\'t. You should call up this file in your browser to find out where your php.ini is and edit that file (php.ini) then. All this, of course, assuming that you actually have access to the php.ini. If you don\'t, then you\'re in trouble. And as long as the install script says that register_globals is off, then it\'s really off. bye, Dirk

Yea in all the files I uncompressed I do not see a php.ini file anywhere. But I\'ll look into what you said.

The php.ini is part of PHP - it\'s already on your server. bye, Dirk
