php modification for register_globals

[asmithjr]

with this new server I am unable to use modifications in the .htaccess to turn register_globals on or off.

in my php.ini I have register_globals = Off but 1 website needs them On

I keep getting a 500 error when I add php_flag register_globals on to the .htaccess file

The php_flag register_globals on in the .htaccess works fine on my old server runing PHP4

Is there something I missed in my php.ini ?

It could be possible that you are misspelled code in .htaccess file. Rename the .htaccess file and recreate the .htaccess filw with following content

php_flag register_globals On

If you are still facing the problem then it seems to be that your new server running PHPSUEXEC, this means PHP executes as the "real user". In this case remove any references to register_globals in your .htaccess files and create a file called php.ini in this file put the following:

register_globals = On

It will solve your problem

I really should have put this information in before but I've tried both the .htaccess method you mentioned and the php.ini.

I have a php.ini file in the users Home /home/user/public_html that contains register_globals = On and at least there is no 500 page error as the .htaccess file gives but the website just gives a blank page still.

In that case you need to check the server logs for your domain.

Login into your server (ssh)

[root@server ~]#tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log | grep yourdomain.com

and copy and paste the error logs if you are not able to sort out it.
