Guest Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 755. Regards, Nacer. My permissions for /catalog has been set to 755 for a long time and I just re-saved it just in case. However, I STILL get - along the top of the store - that pink error message saying "I can write to the configuration.php file blah blah blah". How can this be fixed? I don't want anyone to be able to write to anything other than creating an account and checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I do not have an issue with the admin section at all - that section is renamed and all. My issue with the store itself. Anyone who goes to the store will see along the very top that coral colored error bar stating: Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/xxxxx/public_html/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. I have tried every combination of permissions and those combinations that works on the above, also prevents me from doing any work. It is like I can't have it both ways.

Reset the permissions on catalog/includes/configure.php to 644 (if you are still getting the warning message at the top of the page after setting this configure.php files to 644 then set the catalog/includes/configure.php file to 444 which is read only - this happens on some servers that have been updated for security reasons). Apart from that, well, as you can see from my original post, i am a bit vague about some things :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

^Pariah^ Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 can u tell me how to rename the admin folder and where to put the changes. Rename using your FTP client Reflect this change in NewAdminDir/includes/configure.php define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/NewAdminDir/'); define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/somewhere/catalog/NewAdminDir/'); Think this is the only place - has been too long since I had to do this :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
