Hi,

We have successfully installed a slave site and connected it to a db.
At the master site install we switched off Magic_Quotes using the defines.php method from this url below
URL: cheatsheet.zemplate.com/joomla/29-the-se...oomla-3-magic-quotes


This works fine for the master, However when we install any slave site there is some sort of trigger within JMS that automatically switches Magic_Quotes back on. Even if you create a php.ini file within the slave site installation directory...

Not only has it switched them back on for the slave site(which is on a separate db with a separate prefix) but It also switched them back on for all others.
This is worrying as it breaks existing articles and any new content we create.

Is there a process to bypass/resolve this error?

regards Nick

Nick, you can NOT using the define.php method because there are several define.php and the joomla one is not used when JMS is present.

The solution that you have to use consists in configuring the php.ini to disable the magic quote.

If your hosting provider didn't provided a place where you can customize the php.ini, see a potential solution based on suPHP and .htaccess

In htaccess add a path to you php.ini

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /YOUR_ACCOUNT/public_html
</IfModule>


In the php.ini, disable magic quote
magic_quotes_gpc=off
