Hi all.
I’m doing a test installation on a hostgator host.
While walking through the installation process, the installer warns me:
Checking if Register_Globals is off: FAILED!
So edited the included sample .htaccess, uncommenting the line:
php_flag register_globals Off
As a result, I get a hostgator/apache error page declaring an internal server error:
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@*****.com 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 uncomment every single line except for my target line, and I still get this error.
What could be going on here?
btw, thats the only installation hitch I get. If I skip that step, then modx installs ok, and I get dumped to the admin interface. If I go to the frontend, I see a "welcome to modx" message.
Thanks.
