I unzip PostNuke-0.726-1 at my server, change the permisson of cofig*.php files as instructed, I also change the permisson of all other files to 777. When I went through the install process, after I set language, click "next", I got the following msg:
Not Good! magic_quotes_gpc is Off.
This can often be fixed using a .htaccess file with the following line:
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc On
CHMOD Check
If I use a .htaccess as suggested, I got internal serval error. I found that we are not directed to turn anything on in the install article. How could I avoid this msg without using .htaccess? I could try reinstall. Thanks.

Sounds like you need to ask your host about that. The 500 could be because they don't allow those settings to be overridden, or it could be because PHP is running as a CGI, not a Server module. If it's the 1st, then get a new host, if it's the latter then use PHP.ini -

What could be the consequece if I ingor this warning? We have PostNuke of the same version runing on the same server in another account without any problem. The admistrator said it was simply odd for me to run into this. Any more info is appreciated. -

Hard to say, that's the type of error that depends on how the code is written. I'm not sure if the string prep functions in PN check for Magic QUotes or not. If they do, then any module that uses them will be fine, those that don't, depends on what the dev did. -

It makes PHP add slashes to content submitted in a form before doing anything with it. It's a security tool to prevent malicious users from making your site do things it's not supposed to. Basically, it covers your butt when using sloppy code.
