.tmp problem

[gtroops]

Hello there,

 

I have a question,

I have installed osCommerce for the first time, but i get the following errors:

 

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

 

 

Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.

 

 

Can anyone help me?

Thank you

My regards,

Amro

I found on your first warning that if you change the permissions of the configure file back to 755 that takes the first warning away.

The other im not sure how i fixed it.

You have 2 options for you second problem.

 

Option 1. You need to create the folder /tmp and I think it needs to be chmod 777.

 

Option 2. Open you includes/configure.php. Change your store sessions to mysql. You should do this anyways on shared servers.

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

Thank you clista and natewlew!!!

 

I have done what you said natewlew... and its good now but clista where can i do that what you said:

 

I found on your first warning that if you change the permissions of the configure file back to 755 that takes the first warning away.

The configure.php files should have permissions of 644, 444 or 400 - depending on your server. If you use permissions of 755 then expect your site to get hijacked.

hi ,

 

I've got another suggestion to you. it worked for me.(provided that the website which is hosted on a unix platform)

try downloading a ftp client with capablity of changing the permission. e.g. WSFTP . in the host bit you can right-click configure.php select Chmod. then a pop up window appears. what you need to do is to untick any write permission from the gui screen.

 

hope this help !!

Maybe there is somewhere is your hosting company's control panel that will let you change file permissions?

[gtroops]

No i have asked them they told me its normal..

they gave me a script and its:

 

If the above does not work you can use the following PHP script to change CHMOD:

 

<?

$filename = "file.php";

chmod("/customers/mydomain.com/mydomain.com/httpd.www/$filename", 0777);

echo "chmod for $filename was changed";

?>

 

Save the file as CHMOD.PHP in the root folder and execute it using the browser.

 

 

But i tryied and no the same problem again!!!!

So pleasse HELP ME I'M DOWN NOW :(:'(

You need to find yourself a more user-friendly, more oscommerce-friendly, hosting company.

Hmmm is thats what i can do?

I think there is a way to do it if a someone helps me..

[v94_erl]

I just solved this problem by running the following script (chmod.php) on my one.com domain:

 

<?
$filename = "configure.php";
chmod("/customers/mydomain.com/mydomain.com/httpd.www/catalog/includes/$filename", 0555);
echo "chmod for $filename was changed";
?>

 

I hope it can help someone.
