Guest Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hi, I have uploaded osCommerce to my server and I have changed the permissions for the confirgure.php file as the install documentation suggests but neither of the suggested values stops a red bar coming up warning me that this is a potential security. I'm a total noob so am i missing something obvious? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Check with your host and make sure they will allow you to change the permissions. Some of them will prevent some permissions from being changed.

♥Vger Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 If you are on a Windows server and using the chmod command via FTP to alter file permissions this will not work. It will appear to work, but upon refreshing the FTP list of files you will see that the permissions remain as they were. You will have to use your web hosting control panel's File Manager facility to alter the permissions. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 What did your host say when you asked them why you cannot change permissions?

♥Vger Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I'm open to take bets that they've got the server incorrectly set up so that all permissions are owned by Apache. I have, unfortunately, seen this too many times for it to be a joke any longer. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
