HELP PLEASE!!

[BEvans]

I'm totally a noob at this stuff. Even asking for help in a forum, never used one b4.

This is the spot I'm in: I installed oscommerce, and clicked on the link that took me to a startpage(i guess).

at the top of the page i get a pepto-bismol looking error(pasted below).

 

 

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

 

Since I have nil experience with .php files, what do i do.

I did try to change permissions but it keeps reverting back to what it was before.

And can anyone point me in the direction for a tutorial, like OSCommerce for DumbNoobs? LOL :'(

CHMOD your configure.php file to 444. That will fix that problem. I use my FTP to CHMOD and sometimes I get that problem where it will not change. Just close your FTP and restart it.
