This is tutorial for joomla problem, cause usually when you just installed joomla, some of you may get this notice:
PHP register_globals setting is `ON` instead of `OFF`
What to do? this is an easy step by step to fix that problem:
- make .htaccess file in your Joomla site’s root and add this lines:
# Offers protection during hack attacks by NOT disclosing error
# messages, server paths, et cetera, and turns off your globals.
php_flag display_errors off
php_flag register_globals off
- make “php.ini” in your Joomla site’s root and add this lines:
register_globals = Off
magic_quotes_gpc = On
- open your globals.php file, and change the line:
define( 'RG_EMULATION', 1 )
to
define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 )
now, your register globals is OFF!

This worked for me as well! Thanks!
There is already an .htaccess in my root file. When I try to change or create another, there comes a big error in my site. What can I do?
I’m having the same problem.. Any suggestion. I did email my web hosting service to see if they can shut if off from the Apache root level.
Thats was straight and to the point, it worked great. Thanks a million!!

Bravo
Worked a treat,
That worked! Thanks for the tip.
This completely wrecked my site. I will look elsewhere. Luckily I undid everything to get it back
You Brilliany Guy !!
Had a bit of challenge to get the .htaccess sorted, i tried to upload it to my pc and save it. It refused because Windows needs an extension to the file. So I added the lines in a text file eg – happy.txt , i then uploaded to the site, i then used ftp software ( eg. Smart Ftp) to rename it to .htaccess ( without anny extension , this is important else it does not work). The php.ini is just a normal text file and can be created on the pc and named – php.ini , upload it to the folder. Finally, I used my Dreamweaver Cs3 to open the global.php, inserted the code you advised, and what do you know – GLOBAL IS OFF.
You a star, thanks, my clients will all be safer from today onward.
Followed the instructions and…Voila!
thanks
This works, thanx
Yay! Worked like a charm. You rock. Thanks!
u r a champ!!….thanks a million…that shit just gone…!!
Hey, i get trouble when i follow your tutorial. My Error is :
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@gemilangku.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I will do a Backup first. I only have file acess tru extplorer componente (I have no ftp access). So if the site gets broken, i have to destroy it and rebuild it on the Hosting Services Backend site. (Limited Joomla Pack Hosting)… thinks about risking it or not… First will speak with client
can anybody tell where is this global.php is located.
i have tried to find.
