Installed the 6.9 release of Drupal on JaguarPC, and ran into a curious error. Upon installation it gave the error for having register_globals turned on. In fact the problem was that JaguarPC for whatever reason was running it as a PHP 4 application. My default settings were for register_globals to Off, and just to make sure I also made a custom override file to set it to Off as well.

Anyway, I just forced my JaguarPC account to always run everything in PHP 5 through the CPanel and the problem was resolved. But perhaps an error message should read instead "outdated version of PHP detected" or something similar.

Thanks for the great work!
