I think that's something you would need to speak to your host about...

[borbole]

Your host has disabled ini_set, which is used for many PHP functions. You will need to contact them about this and ask them to enable it.

i remove ini_set() in php config in whm and then get a internal server error on install script

anyhelp or way around this?

my host wont help me as its not managed hosting

You shouldn''t remove it but enable it.

[imk]

how do i do this?

[Brandon Sheley]

You don't remove it, do you have full access to your server.
Can you enable/disable services?

[imk]

yes i just dont know how to enable it?

[Brandon Sheley]

What kind of server do you have?

[imk]

Whm Vps

[borbole]

how do i do this?

That is part of the disable_functions in the php.ini file. Go to the PHP Configuration Editor then click on "Advanced Mode." This will let you view and edit all php.ini settings including disable_functions.

Whm Vps

what kind of server...

windows, unix?

[imk]

i removed it from this function - yet that still wont enable it?

when i removed i got a internal server error on install.php

[Brandon Sheley]

i removed it from this function - yet that still wont enable it?

when i removed i got a internal server error on install.php

NO ONE SAID REMOVE..... :rolleyes:

When you remove something, you can''t enable it. You shouldn''t remove it but simply enable it following the instructions I posted above.

[imk]

^i respect the help but this tells me nothing about how to enable

im in the php screen now and i see ini_set under disable_functions safe mode

so i dont remove but how do i enable? it isnt found anywhere else on this page!

It might be quicker if you just open a support ticket with vbulletin
