Title: joomla 3
Post by: hawk on October 23, 2012, 11:39:03 AM

Hi

I was wondering if anyone has got joomla3 working yet?

Magic Quotes GPC Off    No

The new installation will not let you past until you sort out the issue with Magic Quotes are set to off. Previuos versions of joomla have installed without a problem. I have looked around and found some stuff about this on the bugzilla, but to be quite honest it is a bit confusing for me. The last time i messed with the php.ini it messed up my server completely. So without setting up another test server i was wondering if anyone has a solution.

Many thanks
John

a custom fragment in /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini named 11MagicQuotes  with this content

Code: [Select]

magic_quotes_gpc = Off

should do the trick

remember to expand the template with

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/php.ini

followeb by

Code: [Select]

signal-event ibay-modify Primary

to restart correctly all the involved services

thanks Stefano

Worked perfectly, here is what i did:-

[root@sme8server ~]# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
[root@sme8server ~]# echo "magic_quotes_gpc = off" > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/11MagicQuotes
[root@sme8server ~]# expand-template /etc/php.ini
[root@sme8server ~]# signal-event ibay-modify Primary

not sure if this is the correct way to do it, but it has worked.

Not sure how many people use joomla, but version 3 is very different, got to get my teeth around it, but it looks very simular just a different way of doing things. Also seems faster.

thanks
John
