warning about !! configure.php and /tmp ...please help !!!!

[french fries]

hi !!

i dont know what is wrong with me but i have set everything as you said below 444 (via. ftp prog)... nothing !!!

i couln't edit the file from the cpanel it s just a viewer, (are we talking abt the same file ,configure.php ??? )you can edit the file himself but not set it from there .. no?

also i have no clue abt where you have found those files :

 

 

If you use cpanel use the file manager to CHMOD the file to 444. That seems to work for me. I would create called temp in your main catalog directory. For the other issue create a tmp folder. The structure should look as follows:

 

etc

mail

public_ftp

public_html (this is where all the files are and are seen on Internet)

tmp

www (points to public_html folder)

 

 

anyway,

 

i have use several time my ftp prog to change the permission for configure.php and add so many /tmp folder everywhere to see if the warning will disappear but.... nothing at all :(

i'm so desperate that if no reply i will have to remove oscommerce which isn't what i want to do .. so, please..please.. any advise for me ??!!!

 

please thank you to read me !! :)

If you use cPanel then you can only increase permissions using FTP. You cannot decrease permissions (e.g. 644 to 444) using FTP. You have to use the File Manager in cPanel for that. Once you have found the configure.php file, click on it, and then at top-right of your screen you should see a list of options - one of which is to change permissions.

For the /tmp folder issue, just store sessions to the database from the two configure files:

 

includes/configure.php

admin/includes/configure.php

 

At the bottom of each file, edit them so they both have:

 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

If you download the configure files to your hard drive to edit them, you will need to temporarily change permissions to 777, so you can overwrite them. Change back to 444 after.
