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.

Add the following line to the .htaccess file in the root directory:



Then, even though it is turned on in the server, it will be turned off on your site.

thanks, Bob; I added the code but it didn't change the warning messages

other ideas?

If that didn't do it, open a ticket with the help desk and have them take a look at it for you.

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.

I would try putting it in a separate line, above everything else in your .htaccess file

Thanks again; no luck

I'm submitting a ticket and will let you know how it turns out.

Have you tried restarting your apache server, for the effect to take affect. Just a thought.
