2johnsons Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 when I open my site on the home page the very top I get this message on RED Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /hsphere/local/home/ejvj69/flawnt.net/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. I was reading in the manual that I need to " Reset the permissions on catalog/includes/configure.php to 644" I have no idea what this is, what Im to look for, etc Can someone please also tell me what "chmod" is? becuase Im seeing this word a lot in the forum as Im researching changing the permissions. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you chmod is a unix command for changing permissions on files or directories you can usually change permissions from an FTP program usually right click on the file name to change permissions. 644 means owner: read write, group: read, public: read For a good writeup on chmod see Wikipedia on chmod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
