Logging a ticket

[myphppax]

Not sure where to put this, the forum says use CPanel to log a ticket, the CPanel directs me here.... what gives??

All I want to know (at the moment), is how to restart Apache as I have uploaded a custom php.ini (for all error reporting, globals on and display errors on)? And where should I be asking for help to do with the CPanel also?

THANKS

Restarting Apache isn't available as an option because it's not just you on the server - reboots of apache can often take several minutes during which time no webpages can be served. That said, the php.ini should already override any option that it's allowed to, however due to the security restrictions placed on free hosting it's also entirely possible that it will not override anything.

I'm confused on the "globals on" idea though; register_globals can be a massive security risk, and was set to "off" by the php developers themselves in all new installs from 4.2.0 onward, and the function is now depreciated as of 5.3 and will likely be removed entirely in a future version of PHP.


I did test it on my own free account; enabling register_globals doesn't work. If your script absolutely requires it be enabled, you may want to look for an alternative that's designed around php 5.3, as the script may have been designed around a much older version.
