Joomla! Security "register Global Emulation"


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.
