AUSWEBs new server security policies require PHP safe-mode ON and register global OFF
Below you can find some guidelines regarding fixing your shopping cart software
osCommerce
osCommerce will run with safe_mode on but you may get errors displaying on the screen, if you do, you need to make the following change
In includes/application_top.php change:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
to
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING);
Having register globals enabled is a very serious security issue; it allows an attacker to inject variables into the running PHP code. Just in case you don't realise, this is a VERY BAD THING.
The patch for oscommerce to run with register_globals off can be downloaded from http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2097
Please make sure you carefully read the README file as it contains important information about the 2 ways the patch can be applied.
The 'patch' consists of the following:
1/ A set of instructions (rather than a 'patch' file) that you may use to manually apply the changes to an existing code tree. This is useful if you already have modififications made to the OSC source code and you want to apply this patch on top.
2/ A set or pre-patched files. These files are EXACTLY the same as you would get if you applied the patch instructions to a clean copy of OSC. This is useful if you are performing a clean installation of OSC and therefore have no worries about just copying over existing files with new versions.
>>> You only need to use either the manual instructions or the pre-patched files; NOT both <<<
