suPHP_ConfigPath /data/30/2/38/95/2690747/user/2955185/htdocs/public_html

causes error 500, I found the path using __file__ code and what am trying is to disable the magic_quotes_gpc for joomla. I would really be greatful since I have been here for hours

Answer 1

ini_set ("magic_quotes_gpc", false);

If this doesnt work, you should talk with your hoster and ask him if your request is possible. If you just signed up somehwere for some webspace, this will probably the problem.
