Guest Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I get the following error message whenever I go to my store: -- Start error message-- Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/bando2/public_html/store/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. --End error message-- I have set the permissions on includes/configure.php to 644 through Cute FTP, cleared the cache on my browser and reloaded the page but I'm still getting the same error message. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobg7 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Try changing the permissions to 444, that should fix it for you. Installed Contributions: CCGV, Close Popup, Dynamic Meta Tags, Easy Populate, Froogle Data Feeder, Google Position, Infobox Header Entire Row, Live Support for OSC, PayPal Seal with CC images, Report_m Sales, Shop by Price Revised, SQL Updater, Who's Online Enhancement, Footer, GNA EP Assistant and still going.

Guest Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Try changing the permissions to 444, that should fix it for you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the tip, I just did that but for some odd reason it keeps changing itself back to 644. Any idea why this happens and/or how to keep it from doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Changed the permissions through IE's ftp and it seems to stay at 444 but I STILL get the same error message on the store. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Lots of people have had problems with Cute FTP and osCommerce recently, and IE's 'ftp' client is a joke. Try something like WS FTP Pro (30 day trial verion) or FileZilla. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevel Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Also, some web hosts have things set up so that you cannot, through any FTP client, set a file such that it is not writeable by the owner. For these, you need to use a script, such as in my Protection of Configuration contribution.
