Hey, I am trying to insall oscmall (multi vendor oscommerce) and when I try to do it says I need to enable php.ini and I have no clue as to how to do this, I'm using mamp, on my local host at the moment, thank you for any help
Are you sure they are not asking you to enable certain variable of your php.ini configuration file? If you are not able to get php.ini on your server, you might make your own php.ini file into the directory where the application is running and overrid certain configuration variable from there.
create a file called php.ini open it in notepad or similar and type, register_globals = On save it and upload it to the directory you installed the shop also you may need to upload it to the admin directory. Let me know how you get on
