Permissions on includes/configure.php file ?

[Guest]

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

 

I get this warning while using Mozilla, can someone tell me what my permissions should be set to?

 

Thanks

Using command:

 

chmod a-w

 

at Unix prompt works at least, then you'll have to change the permissions everytime you're going to change the configuration (not often, if everything's planned well).

 

Or then you can change the ownership of file, since in most cases you have a different user for web server and editing files/FTP access:

 

chmod user configure.php

 

and then:

 

chmod og-w configure.php

 

..that way only the owner of the file can edit it.

 

I assumed that you're using an Linux/Unix server, I have no idea how Windows file permissions work.

 

 

 

Cheers,
