The e-commerce.

The pink bar at the top of my webstore homepage

I am in the beginning stages of configuring my osCommerce webstore, and the pink error bar on top says "Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: ' . dirname($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) . '/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file."

 

How do I resolve this?

 

Also, how do I make it so that when an eventual customer shops at my webstore, that they don't see the pink error bar?

 

THANK YOU!! :)

Looks like your permissions are wrong on your includes/configure.php file. I believe they need to be set to 644 for both the catalog/includes and admin/includes configure.php files.

I tried changing the permissions to the configure.php files to 644 and i am still getting that pink error bar at the top. do you know of anything else i might try?

 

Thank you so much!

I set the catalog/includes/configure.php to 444 and the admin/includes/configure.php to 444.

 

The result is that I still have the same pink bar at the top of the screen with the same error message:

 

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/users/web/b2335/pow.metropolisonline/htdocs/shop/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

 

Any other suggestions? Thank you both so far for your help!

Wait a minute.

 

I still hadn't changed permissions on the root includes folder version of configure.php.

 

I just changed the permissions on that one, and lo and behold - the error message is gone. Thank you!
