Trying to install Drupal on Yahoo Webhosting & receiving the following error:

register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings. (Currently using PHP register globals Enabled ('1'))

Have tried creating php.ini in Drupal installation directory as suggested by several posts but it is not working. Since this is Yahoo, I don't have access to the actual root of the server, only the "root" of the website it is hosting.

Could the installation routine include an option to continue installation with register_globals enabled?

Please advise as to whether or not to waste my time trying to make this work.

I ran into the same issue and contacted Yahoo, and learned that there is nothing they can do about it for now. Details are in my post:

Drupal Installation Problems With Yahoo SB Web Hosting

I am hoping that they can fix this or give us a workaround in the near future, so that I don't have to move from Yahoo (which hosts my blog now) to another host to be able to use Drupal.

Alternatively, is it possible to have a patch for Drupal that can undo the effect of "register_globals = 1" ?
