Script works perfectly on Hostgator but NOT on Bluehost

I have a script (php) that works perfectly on Hostgator but for some odd reason it won't work on Bluehost.

After uploading the script and database to Bluehost, the logins to the site doesn't work (ie, i enter the username/pass) and it gives me an invalid error. Tried 20 different login/pass that worked fine on Hostgator the previous night but it won't work on Bluehost. Also the images and css are not showing up at all.

So just a few minutes ago, I went ahead and uploaded the same script to Godaddy and Hextrixbyte hosting, and no problem, everything works PERFECTLY.

Contacted Bluehost's tech but they said it was my script's fault for not working, stating:

But how can this be true if this same script works fine on Hostgator, Godaddy, and Hetrixbyte hosting accounts?

Anyone know if there is a special feature that Bluehost has on their server that might be causing this problem for me?

Please help me, I already paid for a full year's subscription at Bluehost and I'm stuck

 

Hey there,

You probably need register_globals enabled

Thanks,

Francisco

 

It should also be noted that I realize that Bluehost server is not reading/recognizing this line in my code

$site = "http://$HTTP_HOST/";[/b] In my...ng special going on on Bluehost's servers? :(

 

Hi Francisco, thanks for your quick reply to help,

How would I get register_globals enabled?

Is it something I would do or do tech support need to do that for me?

 

Just simply contact your customer support

 

Great, thanks for responding kind of the cash

If you don't mind me asking, what does "register_globals enabled" do?

Do you think that's the reason my site is not working on Bluehost based on what I explained above?

Do some hosting companies have it automatically enabled while others like Bluehost have it disabled by default?

I only ask this because I don't remember asking hostgator to enable that feature in the past

 

Hey there,

register_globals is 'usually' seen as being a little iffy when it comes to security. With that being said, a lot of hosts have it enabled by default.

You can check if you do by just making a file called like, phpinfo.php with this in it

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

PHP:

Then check for register_global

Thanks!

Francisco

 

Thanks Francisco, I made the file like you suggested and checked both sites Hostgator and Bluehost. Hostgator has theirs "Enabled" while Bluehost was "Disabled".

Keeping my fingers crossed that will fix the problem.

Still waiting on Bluehost tech to Enable global_register. Surprisingly, they have been very slow at responding to my ticket requests. 12 hours the first time, and now it's been 15 hours for my 2nd ticket without a response
Anyone know the average response time of Bluehost tech support?

 

may be they dont have same service on c panel like mysql php and perl and others you should take a professional to completely
fix this problem.thank you
