kapljica Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hello Community... even not knowing php, with this good osCommerce manual, i managed to make new boxes and change layout so far i need it... the question is about security issues: in the start window i recieve following message: WARNING_CONFIG_FILE_WRITEABLE...how can i protect this file? and second question: is osComm, if i use it as it is after installation, safe ? i was going through troubleshooting questions in this forum, and i would like to know if those things happen after someone would change the original code, or are problems happening also with original, "untouched" version ? I would appriciate any comment thanks Tanja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khime Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I assume that the error message is on the top bar? You need to change 2 configure.php files to read only after installation These are located in /catalog/includes/configure.php /catalog/admin/includes/configure.php Use FTP to CHMOD or use your web file manager to located these two files and change to 644 (or untick read / execute on the group and public sections) I hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapljica Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Thank you for advice...i checked those files with 644 but the message appears again.... in a meantime i also read somewhere that some servers have different codes and therefore this can happen, or, "(if you are still getting the warning message at the top set configure.php to 444 which is read only - this happens on some servers that have been updated for security reasons)" I am not quet sure what is the case...

nvedia Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Chances are that CHMOD is not working with the ftp client you are using You can ask your host to change the file permissions for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonabc Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 You can ask your host to change the file permissions for you You don't have to ask your host to do this. Most hosts do not allow permissions to be changed on files via FTP. Use the File Manager in your web hosting control panel to do this instead.
