lighttp and php tutorial

Enabling register_globals is a serious security threat to every web site.
Don't do that.

There are various exploits based on having register_globals on.

Ok... didn't know that.. more of a M$ person here..

Is there another way to get the session variables working?

TIA

As i wrote - take another CMS. modx for example, or typo3, nx-system etc.

@Aramaki,


ok.. thank you.. I will look into that !
(I hope they perform as good as the one I have now)

Anyway.

Thank you all for the heads-up !!
(I thought I was learning linux a bit and was quite happy when I 'solved' the problem and got the CMS running.. However.. I have not realised the security threats which came along, but that's why you gurus are here.. many thanks again.)

these 3 are the best from opensource (freeware). IMHO. But I chose modx

And they ALL need some stuff to learn - it's not a 5 minute tutorial to get all power from it.

typo3 is too complex for user and irrational for programmer

nx is very nice but updates not very frequently and has some inconvenient points

I followed the tutorial and ran into a problem.

>> php -v
Segmentation fault

Similarly for php-fcgi

Admittedly it worked right after I installed it, but stopped working after a reboot.


using PHP version 5.2.4-1 from Olegs repo.

Anyone remedy this problem somehow?
