Your hosting account doesn't meet the following requirements:
  • register_globals must be off (currently on)

I contact my webhost and here is a screenshot of what they told me.

That's the error message when I go to the /install    directory

hopefully a developer or someone that has dealt with this error before can offer me some solutions or what exactly to say to my webhost because they claim its not compatible with 5.4 if that error message shows up


Edit: According to them register_globals don't exists in php 5.4  so if that error is showing up oxwall was never truly compatible with php 5.4 it was just hacked or tricked into "working" and they claim modifying the php.ini will do nothing since its non existant

It is compatible with 5.4, your server does not meet our requirements, it is clearly said in the error you get.

Uh... that sounded rude. I clearly understand the server don't meet the requirements to run oxwall but I was looking for a solution to make the needed changes to be able to meet all the requirements since my host is willing to work with me. and I have had no problems running oxwall in the past on the same hosting company before they upgraded to 5.4 and they claim those where the only changes.

Shaun, I'm sorry if that sounded rude, I did not mean to offend you in anyway. 


What solution are you looking for? Server does not meet our requirements. We cannot change the code. You need to contact your provider and request to disable register_globals.

Alright, Shaun, 


please go to ow_install/files/requirements.txt and remove this code line: 

ini.register_globals off;
