I Am Java Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I keep getting the warning "Warning Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/hallow5/public_html/cookyx/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file." I keep resetting the permissions to 444, but it doesn't seem to stay at 444. Any help?

I'm also getting that same error message. I've tried to change permission from 644 to 444 via 2 ftp servers. But it's still not correcting the problem. It still resets it to 644. Does any have any idea or other fixes? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unixfox Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm also getting that same error message. I've tried to change permission from 644 to 444 via 2 ftp servers. But it's still not correcting the problem. It still resets it to 644. Does any have any idea or other fixes? Thanks. Same thing is happening to me. I even tried to delete the file and restore it to no avail. I think we may need to get the hosting company to change it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Your problem is that with some hosts it isn't possible to remove the owner write priviledges via ftp. Connect to your account via telnet or a ssh connection and use linux to set the permissions on the file, this will fix it for you. if you don't know how to do this I can probabally help.
