Hi, here I am again :o(
After almost a week of reading and plucking up courage to have a go at the shopping cart I decided today was the day and installed os commerce. I followed the tutorial step by step and really thought I hadn't done anything wrong. However, when it had finished I tried to get in and got this 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.

I have not got a clue what to do. I dont understand anything about PHP or PHP.ini or htaccess file.

I have done search after search but I'm still clueless.
Sorry for being a pain but could anyone help me in really basic language please?
Thanks
Karen

PHP.ini is a file on the server that configures features of PHP. In this case the script you are using needs register_globals on, otherwise it won't work correctly. I believe vodahost has this turned off for security reasons, but they might turn it on if you ask

Hi, thanks for that. I've decided that for now I'm just going to go with the easy paypal shopping cart as I can do this! lol. Coward eh :o/
Anyway, thanks for your help and quick response
