Warning message at the top of the page

[yshop]

I keep getting this error message in top of my shop www.yshop.dk

 

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /customers/yshop.dk/yshop.dk/httpd.www/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

 

And I followed and tried all the different settings from the knowledge base:

 

2. Reset the permissions on catalog/includes/configure.php to 644 (if you are still getting the warning message at the top of the page after setting this configure.php files to 644 then set the catalog/includes/configure.php file to 444 which is read only - this happens on some servers that have been updated for security reasons).

 

what am i doing wrong, what is missing??

 

Please help

If you've been using an FTP program to change permissions, try using the Control Panel provided by your Webhost. Sometimes FTP won't do the trick.
