You must log in to post replies.This is changed in php.ini
kxx4 - you should have experienced problems with your 1.7.6 site if arg_separator was set like that. Occasional token errors?
You can change it for your entire server in php.ini as Evan points out or in the .htaccess file in Elgg's root for just Elgg.
@ Evan & CASh: Tnx 4 Coming promptly....I'll make this change, and I hope I can make this new installation connecting version v1.8beta1 site to the database of v1.7.6 that am already using as test site on my local host ,or do i create a fresh database for the new v1.8 beta1 installation
@CAsh: Yes I get that error responce some times...
It's up to you on whether you create a new database or point it at the old one. Just remember that 1.8 upgrades the database in a way that 1.7 won't like so it is a one way upgrade. If you want to run both sites, definitely create a new database.
CASH Tanx 4 this advice I'll get a new database
@Cash: after changing this qeruirement check is still showing the previous error. Please help me.
I changed following line to php.ini file
arg_separator.output = "&"
is it ok?
