Hello I have just installed osCommerce and can not get rid of the message which reads:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/www/webdiner.bz/test/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am using WS_FTP and when I right click on the file and change the properties to 644 nothing happens. I have looked throught he knowledge base and have not found anything yet. Thanks for your suggestion and I will keep looking.

I have checked with my hosting and confirmed that they do not have "cpanel" or "vdeck". Additionally they confirmed that the permissions were set to 644 on the /catalog/configure.php script and should not be receiving the error. I have also looked through the Knowledge Base with no success. Any thoughts or ideas on how I may resolve this? So far I love the look and feel of this program and would like to continue using it but I really need to have that error message gone. Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks for the tip! I only found two files named configure.php, one in catalog/includes and one in catalog/admin/includes and changed them both...still nothing! I will keep looking for the third and if you have any other suggestions I will be grateful? I am very close to scrapping this whole thing!

Look to see if you have a folder called 'local' with an alternative configure.php file in there. If it exists it has the ability to supercede your includes/configure.php file and application_top.php.

644 gives the owner read and write permissions - so the file is still writable (if only by you). Set the includes/configure.php to 400 (Owner - Read Only). You can set the permissions for admin/includes/configure.php to either 644 or 400 (up to you on that file).
