Do throught a htaccess or from the php.ini file... Otherwise ask your host for assistance...

Hi Tip-C

I have all my sites hosted on Hostgator and have never had any issues with prestashop, can you not continue installing it ? or does it stop you from finishing the install ?

The installation does continue. However, I read up on what exactly register global is and it is not recommended to have it turned on, same as presta shop recommends you to have it turned off.

I have resolved the problem. For those experiencing the same thing here is how you fix it:

In cPanel, find php.ini quick config.
Scroll down to register globals and click OFF.

Save the new settings and Voila!

Hello,
On my host I have to add in php.ini this:

register_globals = off
post_max_size = 20M
memory_limit = 200M
upload_max_filesize = 20M
max_execution_time = 120
expose_php = off
session.save_path = /tmp
mysqli.default_socket = /tmp/mysql5.sock

The inconvenience is it has to be i every folder with php.

Thanks, this worked for me but in cPanel it was called "php.ini EZConfig" and you have to enable it to turn register globals off.
