cpanel register_globals enabled

In a shared hosting environment with cpanel access?

Can't install Drupal because register_globals is enabled?

Spent hours fooling with poorly understood configuration options in php.ini and .htaccess? (I know I did).

Then I read a post on my host's support forum pointing out the php.ini QuickConfig app in the Software / Services section of cpanel.

Run the app, set the options you want, and bing bam boom, you're done.

I just wanted to spread the word!

Merits adding to Drupal's info in how to turn off register_globals, I think.

Tho not sure how good to be on a server that has register_globals mostly on.

Hi,

I had a shared webhost with register_globals on
I just added this line in the beginning of the .htaccess (root folder of drupal install):

SetEnv REGISTER_GLOBALS 0

It worked for me
