Installing OSCommerce

[gareth_ed]

Hi Guys,

A noobie question here so apologies.

I am trying to access http://127.0.0.1/shop/catalog/admin/install.php on a local installation of OSCommerce. Nothing difficult, I have confirmed Xampp is working.

However I get the following error 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.

Now I am stumped. I have looked at php.ini and php5.ini in the PHP directory and changed the register_globals tag to on but still it doesn't work. I don't know enough about .htaccess files to have a go there.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Many thanks

Gareth

You're looking in the wrong .ini file. Do a phpinfo() to find the location of the correct one.
