Rebelminis Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hi Guys, I woke up this morning with this on the top of my site in Pink: Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/rebel/public_html/store/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. Why all of a sudden after 5 months did this show up? How can I fix it? Thanks for any help!

mark27uk3 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Using your ftp client select your configure.php file and then right click and select CHMOD, then change the permissions to 644 which will allow you the owner to read and write to the file and everyone else to just read it.

Rebelminis Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 hmm, I am using my C-panel and all i see is this: configure.php Mode User Group World Read Write Execute Permission (it will let me up a # in here) right now there is just a 6 in there. With little boxes to check... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 tick all the boxes under read and clear all the boxes under write and execute this will give you CHMOD 444 if your host does not allow you to set as low as 444 then set CHMOD 644 which is tick all the boxes for read and tick the box for write under user only clear the boxes under group and world for write and clear the boxes under user group and world for execute.
