[drupal-support] I'll try anything

[Dan Robinson]

Yeah - Drupal is running fine - I need more memory for something I'm 
doing. though.

hmmm this is off in all recent php installs I've done - there are 
security issues with register_globals I believe.  And I don't think this 
will affect the stuff I'm trying to set - I will probably give it a shot 
just for fun.  FYI - I've got PHP, MySQL and Drupal running just fine - 
just want some extra memory.

yup.  I may turn around - kill the whole install and start fresh.  
Thanks for your help.
