6. Edit the file .htaccess in the modernbill directory. Add

php_value "magic_quotes_runtime" "0"
php_value "magic_quotes_sybase" "0"
php_value "memory_limit" "32M"
php_value "open_basedir" "no value"
php_value "register_argc_argv" "1"
php_value "register_long_arrays" "1"
php_value "short_open_tag" "1"
php_value "safe_mode" "0"

to just below the 3 php_values supplied. Just cut and paste it.

<--- bcoz of this, Internal Server Error . what should i do?

as mentioned in my thread below is to delete the .htaccess file all together. Somehow it was conflicting with the php.ini file or something. I don't claim to know for sure, but Modernsupport said to delete it. And it worked.
You might have to do the same thing with the .htaccess file in the order folder as well. You will know that after the install if the order page does not come up.

If you are afraid to delete that file, just rename it first as a test. That's what I did.

what did you do for the missing
register_globals off
session.use_only_cookies off

if u didnt use his step to pt it in .htaccess?

if its pt in php.ini juz pt these value?

"error_reporting = 2039
magic_quotes_gpc = On
magic_quotes_runtime = Off
magic_quotes_sybase = Off
memory_limit = 32M
open_basedir = no value
register_argc_argv = On
register_globals = On
register_long_arrays = On
short_open_tag = On
safe_mode = Off"

[bakua99]

create a file call php.ini with any text editor n copy and paste this into the file

error_reporting = 2039
magic_quotes_gpc = On
magic_quotes_runtime = Off
magic_quotes_sybase = Off
memory_limit = 32M
open_basedir = no value
register_argc_argv = On
register_globals = On
register_long_arrays = On
short_open_tag = On
safe_mode = Off

nxt upload it into your installion folder or example public html/modernbill
although the installation page 1 would write that they r still nt corrected, its already changed. but to let you feel at ease juz create a file call test.php and inside copy this


<?php
phpinfo();
?>


nxt go into any browser and access the file.it will show u the detail of your php setting. thankyou for all the brother of this forum for helping me.
sry for my bad english

I've done this and now I get an error...

Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(./include/functions.inc.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (no value) in /home/hosting/public_html/billing/index.php on line 23

[bakua99]

use this in php.ini

When I do that it SHOULD work... but it doesnt.

I have to take away the .htaccess files for some silly reason to make it work. Then, obviously I have to put them back in if I want the red errors to go away... either way I'm screwed.

Why would the .htaccess files (in my modernbill directory or another unrelated one higher up in my public_html folder) be causing a 500 Internal Service Error?

Either way, putting a php.ini is NOT correcting the red values.

It's making me so entirely mad.

Contact Ben; he had to fix a server for me to be able to use it.

Something to do with rGlobals.

Hi guys, here is my story. A bit of a bumpy road but thanks to the notes in this and other posts on this forum and on the ModernBill support forum it seems I got it installed finally.

How to get ModernBill: as the link in the Account Addons doesn't work I opened a ticket and got a license in less than 24 hours. Followed the link and activated the license.

Modernbill version installed: as recommended by Blake@support I installed 4.4 Zend.

Installation:
- I followed the steps described in the MB version 4 manual.
- I had to delete the .htaccess file in the installation directory as it kept giving me the 500 error
- everything went well although at the last step I created a new admin account which was ignored by the installation and was given a generic user login instead.

Problem: right after the last step of the installation I was able to get to the MB login box, entered the user and pass given at the end of the installation, accepted the terms and conditions but... I kept being bounced back to the login box. Found that this had to do with register_globals variable which is set to "off" on the server where MB was installed. There is a link in the MB support forum about this problem. Blake@support wrote that I have to create my own php.ini file which left me perplexed. (I am not a programmer and thought that php.ini can only be manipulated if one has access to the php installation on the server).

Solving the problem: thread had the answer: I downloaded the original file php.ini from the link above and uploaded it to the MB installation directory. Now I managed to log in to MB and pass the "accept terms and conditions". Hope I was not too soon claiming my success

Just after writing the post I changed the default login password and... next time I logged in problems started: now I get in but within the same page I get two other login boxes one under the other. Whenever I click on any menu item I get bounced back to the main login page. Grrrrrr...
