I'm trying to update Drupal to 6.15 and the site is presently on 5.2

The problem is when I try to update the site from 5.2 to 5.21

but it gives me an error:

PHP register globals Enabled ('1')
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.

i did try the php.ini method but it doesn't help

Why is this error not present on the 5.2 version and just when I update it ?

need help.
Thank you in advance.

You *should* be able to upgrade an existing site to 5.21 or possibly 6.x even ... does the upgrade fail or do you just get that as a warning message?

looked at and it doesn't work

because I do not know much about the site because I inherited the site and it is a disaster :S.
I just found out that there was no update module so I installed it and need to update some
modules before going to 5.21 or even 6.x ....

Thank to all!!

I will post my progress if I need some help :)

The warning is there to help you. At the moment, your site's security can only be described with the words: "Swiss cheese". Contact your host to help you with your register_globals configuration problem.

I fix this problem by just recreating a php.ini file from zero and now it is working

I was able to update the site to 5.21 then to 6.15.

Thank you
for all the replies.
