I need to install Joomla but I see Magic quotes are on and the prerequisteites are that it should be off. How can I turn it off server wide?

Check it in /etc/php.ini

# grep magic_quotes_gpc /etc/php.ini
; magic_quotes_gpc
magic_quotes_gpc = Off

You mean I make this edition in ther root of the site? I have many sites and I need to make this serverwide. In the /etc/ directory I do not see a php.ini file, there is a php5 directory. How do I proceed?

Do you have /etc/php5/php.ini file? Try to edit this file.

That did not help, so I annded the line php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off in the .htaccess file so long.
