Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/yourusernamehere/public_html/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 102
This error indicates that ini_set has been disabled globally due to various security issues. It's impossible to override default php.ini file. How to fix it:
- Submit support ticket to support.jnshost.com then request the following: "please add my website to allow init_set list". Please note: we won't add website with Joomla installed in 2008. Script must be up to date. If you use outdated scripts, please update them prior ini_set request. If it's not possible, we can schedule ini_set activation for 24 hours (more than enough time for upgrade).
- System admin will add php.ini file into two folders: public_html and administrator. Both files will be locked with permissions 400 (no write access). Users may change timezone or "url_fopen", but cannot throttle system resources nor remove "disabled functions".
If you receive "time zone errors" set permissions 600 to php.ini file then add following line (right on the bottom):
date.timezone="America/New_York"
Or other time zone you wish: http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
Save then set 400 permissions to php.ini.
Please don't forget to update Joomla and Wordpress!
