Unix/Linux account - htaccess and register_globals

Customer Support Customer Only Discussion

I have a client that we are moving from a windows account to a unix based account. They had to use a custom php.ini in windows to set the register_globals to off. This php.ini had many other settings that matched up to what that web server had.

I need to know what needs to be done under the unix account with the htaccess. Do I just need the one entry “php_flag register_globals off” by itself or do I need other items in there.

If not just that what exactly should we have in this file?

Also where does this file get located? Just in the root of the domain or do I need to put it into every folder throughout the domain?

Thank you for your time.

you put it in the root of the domain, and on linux you can just put the one line, unlike windows needing the whole file.

Thanks.

Does anyone else have a Joomla or Wordpress site where you are using .htaccess? If so what settings do you use to make everything secure?

Thanks
