Hi there guys, i got a problem that im not sure if you guys can help me, i keep getting the info that configure file is writable by the "server" so it has a "gap in security" if you will, but i tried already change it to readable only and i still get the same prompt, i tried 644 and 444, but when i change it to 444 it pops back to 644, <_< but still it should be working, so i deleted the file uploaded it again, and changed its parameters, no sh*t the same stuff again... any suggestions?

Usually using your web host control panel filemanager works.

How are you attempting to change the permissions? If you're using cPanel > File Manager (on Linux), you can not change the numbers directly -- you have to check/uncheck the permission boxes. Otherwise, how are you doing it? By the way, this file needs to be 644 in order to edit it or upload a new copy, and then changed back to 444 so osC won't complain.

Are you changing both configure.php files? (both under catalod/admin/includes/configure.php and catalog/includes/configure.php) I kept getting the error message until I read on a different thread that there are two files to change.

You only need to change the catalog/includes one.

I found out long time ago how to fix it, even tought it has been a long time ago, but i ddint find the thread XD

 

but here it is, the thing is using a regular ftp manager didnt work, the ftp manager of dreamweaver ddidnt work, not even the servers settings worked, so what i did was create a php file called chmod.php and add the script.

<?php
chmod("/customers/YOURDOMAIN/YOURDOMAIN/httpd.www/includes/configure.php",0444);
?>

 

upload it to the root site then execute it and remember to change YOURDOMAIN by your own domain.
