This message is directed to Rod Roark. I just wanted to let you know Rod that I have been testing the CVS version of OpenEMR recently and I found that when I tried to perform the setup using the file that you had put in there it kept stopping me stating that the register globals were not set to off. Which was not the case so in order to get it to proceed I had to replace that setup.php file with the one that comes with 2.8.1 then it would build the database for me. Just thought that you would want to know and I was just curious to see if anyone else had been running into this situation.
Thanks for the note. Was it set to off in a ".htaccess" file instead of in php.ini? Looks like the problem can occur in that case, and I will check in a fix for it.
Otherwise make sure you restarted the web server if you changed register_globals in php.ini.
It was in the PHP.ini file but I was just wondering if it was scanning the other potential php.ini files that just have slightly different names? I have run into these in some distributions and in xampp where it is php.inirec or something like that.
Create a file "info.php" in your web directory which contains only the following line:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Then when you point your browser to this on your web site, it will give you tons of information including the location of php.ini and the current setting of register_globals.
OK Rod my hats off to you that little info script showed me that I was modifying the wrong php file. Have corrected that now and will let you know if I am still getting the same error after that. Thanks.
Well everything started and progressed the way it was supposed to. Now I just have to navigate the new look and figure out how to set up the appointments calendar because it doesn’t have the default settings come up when you log in anymore. More fun things to try out. Thanks for your help.
