Cannot write to includes/configure.php

[remindair]

I am trying to enable the SSL cert. It went through on admin/includes/configure.php. I get an error message in includes/configure.php that states I cannot write to this file. It says to set the right user permissions. Where do I do this? thanks in advance.

You have to modify the attributes of the file to give it Read Write Access.

 

Depending upon what you use to connect to your web hosting server,

a. If you use ftp tool like Filezilla - select file --> Right click properties --> Either type 777 or select check box to provide required attributes.

 

b. If you have access via hosting control panel file manager, select file, look for button or link for attributes and modify the properties to make it Read Write eXecute -- 777 again.

 

After modifying the file, make sure you set the attributes back to read only.

 

An alternative would be to modify the file on your local machine and then upload / overwrite the existing copy on remote server.
