sgtpepper Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 This means that you need to change the permissions of the configure.php file on your server. On some machines this has to be done by a system admin the command to use would be chmod Perform a google search on this command and it should help to explain things for you. what this means?

Jack_mcs Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 It's not that difficult once you have done it once or twice but initially it can be quite itimidating. Most likely, the permissions can be easily set through your hosts admin panel. If you don't know how to get to it, contact your host and explain to them that you need to have permissions for the includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files set to read only. Most hosts will do it for you but they should at least tell you the best way to go about doing it for your setup. If you can't make any progress doing it that way, come back here and someone will talk you through another approach. Hang in there. :) Jack Support Links: For Hire: Contact me for anything you need help with for your shop: upgrading, hosting, repairs, code written, etc. Get the latest versions of my addons Recommended SEO Addons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 If there are numbers next to the file usually '644' or '755', try setting it to '777'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbungle Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 If there are numbers next to the file usually '644' or '755', try setting it to '777'. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> chmod 777 as you mentioned would actually make it worse - it makes the files read/write/execute by anyone. If I remember correctly, the correct command is chmod 744 configure.php (this should make it read/write for the owner, and read only for the rest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 oops, mis read the thread. I should have said setting the file from 777 or 755 to '644'. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Vger Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Actually folks - it's 400 for the includes/configure.php file, which is Owner - Read Only. By far the safest setting. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
