mooredd Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hello all, In reading the security stuff about Joomla!, it says to turn off the emulation by editing the globals: see: register globals emulation instructions I just upgraded to the latest install: v.1.0.15 and have done both of the following: 1) edited the globals php file in the root to "0" and 2) confirmed that globals is turned off in the global config / server tab in the joomla! admin/back end. And still, I get system info, security warnings, that tell me that globals is still turned on. I also just installed a new component, and it tells me that it won't work because globals is still turned on. ? Is this something TCH can help with, or should I go post my issue w/ joomla! forums. I've searched both forums, and no one else has seemed to have this problem. I truly thank anyone in advance for assistance. - D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Crabb Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Add the following line to the .htaccess file in the root directory: >php_flag register_globals off Then, even though it is turned on in the server, it will be turned off on your site.

mooredd Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 thanks, Bob; I added the code but it didn't change the warning messages other ideas? Add the following line to the .htaccess file in the root directory: >php_flag register_globals off Then, even though it is turned on in the server, it will be turned off on your site.

TCH-Bruce Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 If that didn't do it, open a ticket with the help desk and have them take a look at it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 One thing to try if you have joomla installed in a sub directory... I don´t have a joomla installation in a sub directory at the moment so I can´t check it, but I believe you can try adding this line in a htaccess file and place that in the same directory as you have joomla in.

mooredd Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 thanks for all the ideas; before I submit a ticket, is there a best place to put this line of code in the htacess file? I stuck it between the last two sections, not surrounded by "#s" I have Joomla! installed in the root directory. thanks again.

Bob Crabb Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I would try putting it in a separate line, above everything else in your .htaccess file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashram Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Have you tried restarting your apache server, for the effect to take affect. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
