Hey guys, I moved the Mautic files to my server but unfortunately got this error issue when I wanted to start the install process: ![hPs5XUR.png](http://i.imgur.com/hPs5XUR.png) Additional to that, I am using the hosting services of [one.com](http://one.com) and I can’t change the php.ini. Is there any way to still use Mautic? Looking forward to your answers. Thanks a lot in advance! Best Max ---

You can skip the one mark as mayor problem add `always_populate_raw_post_data=-1` on the htaccess in your web directory. now the extension that is recomend to be enable is another topic maybe you mautic work fine maybe not. Also try to moved from this shared hosting that have a lot of limitations. ---

Thanks @ninjoan ! Had a look at the htaccess file and tried to add php\_value always\_populate\_raw\_post\_data -1 but it didn’t work and I got a server issue. Can you tell me where I would need to place the line exactly? Thanks a lot! ![]() ---

Put this at the bottom of your .htaccess file: ` # @link https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/1504 php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1 ` ---
