Thanks Matthias, and thanks also to Shawn Beagle who contacted me off list.
I am frankly too scared to follow these instructions: the editor suggests I make a back up before editing anything, and I don’t really know how to do the restore. As a LiveCode person and very much not a server person I have a very strong feeling of not being in Kansas any more. So I guess I will have to wait for On-Rev support to wake up. My nervousness is not helped by the fact that I don’t seem to have files like php.ini or .htaccess within the files I can see on the server. There is a htaccess.txt file but that belongs to Joomla which is the package telling me to turn off Magic Quotes - so why can’t it do the job itself? Confusion. Sorry to be a scaredy-cat, but for all I know I could start World War 3 by hitting the wrong part of some file.
