furrychops Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 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!! :) Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael w. Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furrychops Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 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!

furrychops Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 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! Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
