I was having trouble installing a 3.0 rocket launcher because the magic quotes GPC was not off.

This was my first 3.0 site so the issue was new to me. I wanted to add the solution in case others are searching on the same subject.
A php.ini file must be added to the main joomla root (public_html) as well as the administrator folder.

Create a new php.ini file via the cPanel and add this code:magic_quotes_gpc=off session.save_path = "/tmp"
If it's a rocket launcher, the same php.ini file must be added to the main folder, administrator folder, and the installation folder before you can get past that first page of the installation. My hosting company helped me figure out that it also had to go in the installation folder.

It was smooth sailing after that.

Glad you found the solution. That's strange that you had to add the php.ini file multiple times. Including it in the sites route should've been sufficient. At least they let you override that PHP module

Yes this does work.
What is weird is that I operate a dedicated server and magic qoutes gpc is off. Why it is finding it on during installation is strange.
Nice post.

Hi JR,
How do you know that is off? It's pulling basically from the same place as phpinfo(). Sometimes on a server there are multiple layers of PHP configurations. For example the server may have a config file, each user on the server can have their own, accounts within a system like cPanel or Plesk can have there own, and each folder could have a separate override. - B

Hey Ben,
I'm running a WHM/Cpanel Dedicataed server. User accounts are limited and not configurable or over writable.
The server's main php config settings show the magic quotes is off, however install keeps stating it's on.
I'll keep using the suggestion about which works.
Thanks.
