Guest Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 could be your host has things all messed up, so try 444. if it were me and the permissions didnt work right at 644, i would be packing my bags and moving onto another host Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_biggles Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I am getting an error to set my permissions on the configure.php file. Error msg : Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/alan/public_html/oscommerce/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. i change the permissions in the chmod with my ftp program but no matter what i set it to i get the same msg ! anyone else had this problem? is it the host ? and how could they fix & or effect it? i know i can get rid of it by just telling the program not to check it but this doesnt fix the problem. Any ideas ? Anyone out there ? Sry, didnt see the above reply. DOH. But i still wonder how they can effect the permissions I set on the file ?

Guest Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 ask the host to set it for you, or try your host cpanel/vdeck if you have one to set the properties to 644 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kijoma Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 ask the host to set it for you, or try your host cpanel/vdeck if you have one to set the properties to 644 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, follow the instructions here > http://www.pownuke.com/oscommerce/oscsecure.php i found when i set the permissions via FTP they got reset again.
