Zergman Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 k, here's the story. I have a php/mysql website on a server that is working fine. I built a new server and have apache/php and mysql up and running. The database is transferred over as well with the site.The database name is exactly the same as well with the site folder/location. Everything is pretty much the exact same.When I access the site, it loads perfectly, but when I try to login to the site, it doesn't work. It bascially shows that my username/password is incorrect but I know they are right. I move back to the origional server and it works. The login in done with php with mysql.To test the site/server, I created a basic page that pulled some info from the database. Works fine.I scanned through the code on the pages looking for server reference, but I can't find nothing that would cause it not to work. I have even copied over my httpd.conf file, but no go.Server is a fedora core 3.Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Most likely culprit - old server php has register_globals OFF and new server has register_globals ON. You can check both easily by comparing the results of phpinfo() on each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I change it to on, reboot the server and run the phpinfo() again....>STILL OFF!.Check the file again and its on. Well, I fight and fight for hours and can't get it on.....STILL SAYS OFF!So I get my uber haXor friend to have a peek and see why register_globals are still off when the file says on. he comes back and says I edited the wrong line. I changed the comment line on line 25. He said look at line 380. OFF!Changed that line and now its working just fine. Thanks AndyB for the help!..you were dead on!
