Register_Globals are OFF, and are defaulted off in php 4.2.3 my Admin would like to keep it off for security reasons. i am using gallery 1.3.1

The problem is with the config, i cannot get past the first page. I know turning Register_Globals on will allow it to work again, but I was wondering if there is something i can change in gallery to allow it to work without turning them On, and still using this version of Gallery.

Thanks,
Robert

please read FAQ C.14 for this but I'm pasting it here though for your information and it might help you.

_____________________________________
FAQ C
The symptoms of this problem are that you can bring up the first page of the config wizard, but when you click the "Next Page" button, it just reloads the same page again. The most common cause of this problem is that the register_globals PHP configuration setting is turned off. Gallery 1.x requires register_globals to be enabled in order to work. Gallery 2.x will not require this setting. To check your register_globals setting, open gallery/setup/phpinfo.php in your web browser and search for register_globals. If register_globals is off, you'll need to turn it on in order to configure and use Gallery. Please refer to the PHP configuration manual page for help with configuration variables.

Gallery 1.3.1 works properly with register_globals off (I've disabled it in all my development galleries and it works fine).

Are you sure that you have a clean v1.3.1 install? If you were upgrading from an earlier version, perhaps you forgot to put Gallery in config mode and have the old setup files...

that is POSSIBLE, i upgraded from 1.3 to 1.3.1 awhile ago.

I believe you are right and i did not put the gallery in configure mode when i upgraded.
what would i need to change to correct the problem?

Thanks,
Robert

Redo the upgrade process. You should lose no data, and it should work properly once you get the current setup files.

Sure. But all bets are off if you're mixing and matching code from two different versions of Gallery.
