Guest Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Whatever i seem to do, i don't seem to get rid of the following error: Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: ********************www/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. i changed the permissions of the file to 644 or 444 , but i still get this message on top of the startup-page. What could i have done wrong? thank you very much for your help.
Daemonj Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Contact your host and let them know that PHP thinks a file with 444 permissions is writeable. They will fix it for you.

Guest Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 i've set the permissions to 644, my host does not allow me to set them to 444. I'll try contacting my host ..
l0ckx Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 i set mine to 444 via FTP and when i called the host they said it was set to 666. go figure...
Daemonj Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 A lot of hosts do not allow permission changing via FTP. If your server's control panel has a File Manager (or similar application) then you should be able to use that to change the permissions of your files and folders should you need to do so again in the future.

♥Vger Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 And if 444 still gives you the error then try 400. Vger
liftarn Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 The way I solved the problem was to upload a small custom php file containing <?php chmod("includes/configure.php", 0444); echo "rights changed"; ?> and then run it from a web browser.
