    Cannot reassign autoglobal variable

    i am trying to create my first course in Atutor. i am on IIS7 running the latest version PHP downloaded last week from the PHP web. I am logged in as ADMIN. When I click on the create course link, I receive a 500 error. I turned on logging and am showing the following error.
    Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _FILES in E:\ATutor\mods\_core\backups\classes\Backup.class.php on line 151

    I have no idea on how to correct this or even where to start. We are a windows environement and this is our first forray inot PHP. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Re: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable

    Though there have been reports of ATutor working okay with IIS, there have been many issues reported. We generally recommend using Apache instead. You can install a package link XAMP to get the Apache/PHP/MYSQL up and running quickly.

    Or, check to see if register_globals is turned on. Look in the system's php.ini file. Turn it off if it is on. Other setting to check are listed in the Requirements & Recommendations section of the ATutor Administrator Handbook.

    We reinstalled ATutor.. for the third time.. We have progressed past the error, but now we are encountering a 500 internal error when trying to create a course. https://ecs.watc.edu/mods/_core/courses/admin/create_course.php.. Any other suggestions?

    Re: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable

    Are you uploading to the server then unpacking ATutor there, or unzipping first and uploading file by file? The latter will almost always create random problems.

    Other than that, my only suggestion is to use apache as the Web server.
