Coppermine Error after ASEC 1.7 install

Nuke Cadet Joined: Jun 29, 2005 Posts: 9

Hello everyone;
Since I have installed ASEC 1.7 (which has worked great), I get the following error when a user (or admin) goes to the coppermine (picture) module:

Quote:

Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_SERVER_VARS in D:\xxxxx\xxxxxxx\html\includes\asconfig.php on line 57

I have looked for an answer, but have not found any help.

Any thoughts would be great!

Line 57 of asconfig.php is currently:

Quote:

if(eregi('asconfig\.php$',$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'])){die('Error: You cannot access asredir.php directly.');}

Thanks!

You need to turn on register_long_arrays in your PHP configuration

The link I tried to access to "learn" how to turn them on is coming up 404. Can you point me to the right resource, or walkme through it. I am a n00b and I don't want to take up your time.

Well if you are on someone's host, ask them about it

Im not, but I guess I will keep looking. Thanks.

I added

Quote:

register_long_arrays = ON

to my php.ini but I still get the same error.

I tried to migrate to PHP 5, but everything went heywire, so I rolled back to PHP 4.3.4

Any more thought on what I can do?

You changed your php.ini - did you restart your server?

Yeah, I did a full reboot of the server.

Have you tried with a .htaccess file?

Code:

PHP_FLAG register_long_arrays On

I am running on Windows 2k with IIS.

So there is not .htaccess file correct?

Mm alright. I can't say I know how PHP on IIS is configured.
Have you tried everything under Windows on the FAQ?

Yeah. I have been through it a dozen times.

I just can not figure it out. The other part that is perplexing to me is that it only effects Coppermine. Every other module seems to work fine. And the fucntionality of Coppermine works fine too, just has the errors on top.

I guess I will keep trying somethings, but man this is getting me all frustrated.

I'm using ASEC 1.7 as well, not had this error.

Try changing

Code:

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS

to

Code:

$_SERVER

Thank fixed it!

Than you soooo much...

So may I ask what the change did?

PHP formerly uses the long array variables ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS, etc) to store certain settings. Now they just use the simple ones ($_SERVER, $_POST, etc). The long setting is being deprecated - it is supported with the register_long_arrays setting turned on, but it may not be supported in the future.
