SquirrelMail 1.4.6 PHP 4.4.1 UWIMAPD (IMAP4rev1 2003.339p-cpanel) Apache 1.3.34 CentOS 4.2 i686 Our webserver runs as nobody.
Hello all. I'm installing 1.4.6, though I have been using 1.4.4 for a while now on the same server. I ran SquirrelMail configtest on the new 1.4.6 installation, and it stopped at this error: ERROR: You have enabled php register_globals. Running PHP installation with register_globals=on can cause problems. See security information about register_globals. I've read the link and also several posts on various lists, but I'm not much wiser. Can someone please summarize: - what is the problem and is it serious? - can the problem be easily solved without breaking something else? - I'm on shared hosting (it's not my server) so can I solve this? - Is there any way to let the configtest bypass the register_globals error so that it will run the remaining tests? Because I'm on a shared server I override some PHP values locally in an .htaccess file, such as to enable attachments greater than 2 MB. So, I added the following to the .htaccess file in the new 1.4.6 directory: php_value register_globals Off I then ran phpinfo.php, and it showed that while the Master Value is still "On", the Local Value for register_globals is now "Off". Yet when I re-run SquirrelMail configtest it still says that register_globals=on even though it has been overridden locally. Help please, this is beyond my knowledge. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
