Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/sinobuy/public_html/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

the "warning" is serious. it means that *anyone* can change the file

the install directions would have told you to reset to file permissions on 'configure.php'

 

from step 4 of quick install guide at the top of the installation and configuration forum

Make sure that the includes/configure.php file and the admin/includes/configure.php file are set to 777 for the duration of the install. Once the install is complete reset to 644, 444, or 400 depending on your server setup.

And FTP usually won't cut the mustard for this task (permission changing on this file).

 

Most people have to use cPanel.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

And you're tried all three of those permission settings?

Then you either aint doin't it right or your server setup is FUBAR

 

Take your pick.

:blush:

 

You can turn the warning off at the bottom of /includes/application_top.php

 

  define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'true');

change to:

 

  define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'false');

I don't recommend it but when the only tool you have is a hammer all your problems seem to take the shape of a nail...

;)

No clue, I've not used it.

 

If it has a support thread look there.
