Hi, Im running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, with LAMP and ISPConfig3.0.4.6. I installed Apache2 and PHP as follows: (carriage returns added for formating reasons) Code: apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 ssl-cert libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-common php5-gd php5-mysql php5-imap phpmyadmin php5-cli php5-cgi libapache2-mod-fcgid apache2-suexec php-pear php-auth php5-mcrypt mcrypt php5-imagick imagemagick libapache2-mod-suphp I have a .htaccess file in my Joomla install folder where I want to turn on magic_quotes_gpc. I've set it globally on the server to NO, but want to make an exception here. My version of Joomla reports a warning about it which I want to clear. Apache AllowOveride is ALL (in ISPConfig for the site) PHP is set to fast_cgi (tried with CGI as well) My .htaccess file: Code: ## # @version $Id: htaccess.txt 4756 2006-08-25 16:07:11Z stingrey $ # @package Joomla # @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 Open Source Matters.

Why is this being ignored while other .htaccess insturctions in the same file are processed ok? Cheers, Nap
php_flga is aoption for mod_php and not fastcgi. You can not set options for fastcgi in a .htaccess file. fastcgi redas its instructions only from ini files and you can set site specific options directly in the php.ini field on the options tab of the website settings. The format is the same that you find in php.ini: magic_quotes_gpc on so dont add php_flag or php_value in front.
ok, it's working now. I have a feeling I wasn't waiting quite long enough for the change to filter through. (was using browser refresh) When I returned a few hours later, after getting some sleep, with PHP left running as mod_PHP, the .htaccess php_flag command worked fine. What a nice present to wake up to. lol Cheers, Nap
@Till: Don't you have to put equal signs in php.ini? Code: magic_quotes_gpc [B][COLOR="Red"]=[/COLOR][/B] on Your syntax is for the apache configuration with php_flag or php_value.
yes, but I'm using .htaccess. This way, I can have it off for the site, but allow it to be turned on for certain applications that are in folders, eg. an old version of Joomla, that I need to update. I don't think you can use php.ini like that.
