Problems with register_globals and magic_quotes_gpc
24 July 2009, 5:04
I have fresh Mahara 1.1.5 installation.When I log in as admin I recieve the following warnings:
[ENV] 96 You have dangerous PHP settings, register_globals is on. Mahara is trying to work around this, but you should really fix it
[X]
Call stack (most recent first):
* log_message("You have dangerous PHP settings, register_globals ...", 1, true, true) at /home/*/public_html/ep/mahara/lib/errors.php:102

I have put a php.ini in the root with which I disable register_globals and magic_quotes_gpc - it can be seen here:

How to disable this warning or fix the dangerous security settings?

I had this problem (jeOS/Ubuntu 8.04).
It wouldn't clear even after changing it.
I figured that restarting the PostgreSQL and HTTPD/Apache2 Services it would have cleared but my eventual fix/workaround was to drop the database and create a new one.
As it was a fresh install this wasn't really a bother for me.
You could try restarting the aforementioned services first.

As a matter of interest, the location of your php.ini..
What platform are you building Mahara on?
