germ Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I can tell your state of mind isn't matching your forum nickname at this point in time anyway... :blush: That aside, if you've been using FTP to try to alter permissions - STOP, login to your hosts cPanel and change them there. If all else fails, you can turn the warning off (not recommended). At the bottom of /includes/application_top.php change this code: define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'true'); to define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'false'); Make a backup before editing. (If you broke it you bought it :o ) If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
