installation help for Dupal 6.4

[Tony_b]

Hi everyone

I have a little problem trying to install Dupral. It keeps coming up
with this message

"register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive
to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled.
The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings.
(Currently using PHP register globals Enabled ('1'))"

In the Verify requirements part of the installation.

And i have tried all sorts. Does anyone know wot it means
and how to solve the problem?

The php configuration on your server has register_globals turned on. Depending on how the server is configured you can fix it in a number of ways.

1. change the php.ini file to turn it off.
2. create an .htaccess file and turn it off there

Here is a link that may help: http://drupal.org/node/212062

Cheers

After busting my brain i think i manage to sort it out by adding

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

At the bottom and then it put me through to the data base con fig part.
