PHP Register_globals Setting Is `ON` Instead Of `OFF`
Jan 6, 2008
I get the following security warnining in my Joomla installation:
PHP register_globals setting is `ON` instead of `OFF`
From what I have read this is a big security risk and it is something that the host can easily turn off. Why wouldn't my host have this turned off?
I was told by live chat that I could overide with my own php.ini file, but I know nothing about php or php.ini files. I read in a forum that I would have to place this file in EACH directory of my Joomla installation where a php file exists. I don't even want to think about what a pain that is. Also, everytime I add an extension I have to repeat the process? I've also read that this may interefere with several extensions.
Isn't there an easier way to do this?
I read that the host can configure their servers so that you would only have to place the file in one directory or that you would only have to edit the .htaccess file
I just switched to Hostgator and I didn't have this problem with my old host. Should I try to find a new host that has better security?
I really don't know what I'm doing or where to begin with this. I'm probably just misunderstanding something. Can you please help me understand this?

On my server (cpanel/whm php version 5) I need phpsuxec enabled so Configure Suexec and PHP I have suxec as on and php handler as cgi.
The problem is that enabling of register_globals through .htaccess file of cpanel accounts is not working. I have tried all kinds of commands as:
php_flag register_globals on
and even tried creating a php.ini » register_globals=on
and that still does not enable register_globals on an account. I do not want to enable register_globals centrally as I am aware that is a security threat.
But if I change to dso php handler that .htaccess code enables register_globals but then phpsuexec is not working.
Is there anyway to combine these two options?

Dreamhost accounts have PHP register_globals turned on by default. I tried to override that and have register_globals turned off by putting this line
register_globals = Off
in a php.ini file placed at the web root. But phpinfo() still shows register_global as on. How do I turn off register_globals in Dreamhost?

Today I have a customer want to swich the register_globals on on his account ,,, i'm running PHPSuExec and running php as cgi not as Apache module , and as you know using php as cgi will cause internal error 500 if some one add php_flag register_globals on
to .htaccess file.
what is the soluation to switch register_globals on for his account only without using the .htaccess file.
put in mind the php files that need the register_globals to be on is encrypted with zend , so we does not have access to it for modification.
have any one have the solution?

I am wondering if you can either:
1. Point me to an article you can validate as being accurate; or
2. Explain to me as much as you are willing to the following question:
How would someone setup a CDN to compete with companies like level3/softlayer/peer1 etc..? What kind of software is used? Is there special routing issues to address? I do understand you need *at least* 15-20 nodes before you can offer a "true CDN" and I do understand that they need to be in different locations on the POP's. How do you stream files over the CDN as well? Via RTMP?

to add a new domain name to my hosting account, when I put in the nameservers at namecheap, my new domain resolves to the wrong IP address.
When I contacted my host, they told me I need to contact namecheap and give them the IP address and my namservers names.
I have never had to do this before. Usually I just add a new domain in my WHM and everything works. Right now namecheap is using my hosting companies nameservers, when I try to switch to my name servers namecheap comes back with an error.
I added new zones in the WHM for my name servers, but nothing is working.
What do I need to do to get this working? I have one current domain name that is working and one that is not.

I have already one dedicated server which I use for shared hosting and for my companys site.
I have read something little about managing VPS and can say that I want to use OpenVZ for that but that's all of my knowledge.
1. Howto setup VPS box (openVZ)?
2. Do I need leave free space/resource for "management" or can I use all space/resource for clients. I have my companys site and stuff in different server (as you can read above).
3. VPS box security? Do I need to worrie about that?
4. If I want to offer multiple OS options for clients, is it possible and how that is done?
5. Is there any "VPS control panel" for clients? For reboot, shutdown, re-install OS and such actions?
6. Do I need more IPs than VEs need (one per VE).

I've just recieved my copy of Kevin Yanks book "build your own database driven website using php and mysql" and very excitedly installed msql and php last night. As i have IIS i installed that too. Everything so far seems to be going as plan.
But i'm only wanting to use IIS for testing. Since i'm a newbie i'm unsure on some secuity aspects. Is it possible to use IIS for testing only, that is, no possibility of anyone else using it to access my computer?

I initially wanted to set up a VPS because I want to build a web application. The first phase is to set up a development environment, testing environment and production server. For the development environment, I want to set up an SVN server for my code (one reason why I chose a vps instead of a shared server) as well as a bug tracking system. Each environment would be under subdomains, except the production server (development.domain.com, trac.domain.com, testing.domain.com).
My question is what is the best way to utilize my VPS for this type of environment? Should I create a client for each environment? Stick everything under my admin account? I'm sure this is a simple question, but I just want to make my system as organized as possible.
At the minimum, could someone point me in the direction of any resources?

My first post on here! I have just signed up with a VPS, and before I did so, i asked if IMAP was supported, and that was confirmed.
Now, when I try to get it to work, I am told by support that my current mails transport agent (mailEnable) does not support IMAP, and that I should elect not to use mailEnable and configure IMAP with the Microsoft Services.
Now, here I am lost. What do they mean, and how do i proceede Thank you for any input!

Just got a new dedicated box (Fedora 5/CPanel/WHM). I didn't realize I had to set up my own nameservers with it. Definitely not a subject I am well versed in. Anyone know where I can find out how to get started?

I am interested in setting up my own server, more than anything just for the experience. I would like it to be a linux-based server and to be managed purly through the command line [i.e. no GUI].
Can anyone point me towards any goods book/resources for learning this? From what I read I believe that sitepoints own book does not cover any command line stuff, and everything happens purly through the GUI.

I got one of those cheap $10 servers from hostmds to use to backup my vps.
Know I just need to know how do I setup rsync to backup my vps nightly? Any links to good guides to do this would be great. I looked on google, but am hoping someobody knows a guide that is simple to follow.

I have a problem with a couple of the domains on my reseller account.
Although apparently configured the same as other domains I am unable to set the default URL to use the www prefix using .htaccess. When I try I get a redirect loop error.
You can visit one of the problem domains here: [url]
If you stick www in front you will see that it resolves to the non-www version.
Any idea where this is taking place?
