Error Your host needs to disable magic_quotes_gpc to run this version of Joomla!

If your server has suPHP compiled, copy the server's php.ini under your account. Open in this file and set magic_quotes_gpc to Off. Once done, open the .htaccess file and the code below. Doing this, the php.ini will be effective to the whole account.

SetEnv PHPRC /home/cPanel-user/public_html

If your server does not have suPHP compiled, you can disable magic_quotes_gpc using .htaccess file. Open the .htaccess file and add the code below.

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off

Note: If you are on a shared hosting package, ask your host to copy the server's php.ini under your account.

Now, try accessing Joomla & error is gone !
