Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file...

I keep getting the header error "Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /www/htdocs/includes/configure.php... "

 

I've set the following permissions and verifed them to be correct;

 

chmod 755 /admin/includes

chmod 755 /includes (contents of "catalog" in web docs root)

chmod 644 /admin/includes/configure.php

chmod 644 /includes/configure.php

 

Is this a fluke, or is there something else I need to look at? Thanks for any help you can lend. :D

Thanks. That definitely works. But I wonder what sort of adverse effects this will have later on down the road? Is Owner write access really necessary on configure.php?

You will only need owner write access if you wish to change any of the settings in configure.php in which case just chmod it 744 make the changes and chmod it back to 444
