Disabling PHP Globals When Installing Drupal In Shared Hosting Environments

Submitted by kaharris on Tue, 10/12/2010 - 21:20

Add the following line to .htaccess in order to allow installation of Drupal in shared hosting environments that complain of php register_global variable being set to on.

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Essentially this runs all php as php5 which defaults to disabling the register_global variable.

You should now be able to finish installation with no further issues.
