I cannot see the details like IP and user name of the visitors in the admin-interface history. Am I wrong?

Hi,
if you run your own server at home, try to change your php-configuration.
In php.ini there is an entry "register_globals = On". If that is "off", turn it to "on".

Hope it helps!

While this is continuing a really old thread, the comment is still valid it seems.
However register_globals has been deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0 and removed as of PHP 5.4.0.
Piwigo still requires register_globals to be on to access the update server. The trouble with this is it opens the server to security holes. With register_globals=on anything passed via GET or POST or COOKIE automatically appears to be a global variable in code which can have security consequences.
I'm not a coding expert in PHP so perhaps someone can suggest why register_globals=off affects access to the Piwigo update server and what can be done to avoid having to leave it turned on.

There appear to be suggestions for remedying this issue here:

Would this help solve the Piwigo issue?

Piwigo update system doesn't fail on Php 5.4 and more so I don't see your logic in there (please don't dig up old trheads)

please stay on your other thread where you were already mentionning that

That's very... unexpected, because Piwigo works with PHP 7! I don't think there is any problem with register_globals

I've added a further comment in the other thread: [Forum, post 162584 by JAK in topic 22263] Connection to server unavailable
Thanks for your thoughts on my mystery problem.
