kneerat Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hello, Today on my site: titletownnostalgia.com an odd message showed up on the top of the homepage: Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/content/k/n/e/kneerat/html/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. what does this mean? and how can i fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksteruk2005 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 it means that the server can write to the configuration files CHMOD 644 the inlcudes/configure.php file and see if that fixes it I dont help with templates (thats what the seller is for) th search function will often help, when it dont try this in google. site:http://www.oscommerce.com/forums then your search word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneerat Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sir, I had someone else set the website up for me... what does that mean to a guy who doesnt know much about setting up websites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksteruk2005 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 you need to connect to ther server using something like FLASHFXP or if you have cpanel as your control panel for your main website you can goto file manager, look inside the includes folder, there is a file called configure.php you have a option to change the permissions (what the website can and can not do to the file) need to change the numbers to 644 and if that dont work try 666 I dont help with templates (thats what the seller is for) th search function will often help, when it dont try this in google. site:http://www.oscommerce.com/forums then your search word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksteruk2005 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 edit your post and remove database settings from here, that is a massive risk to display your settings on a forum!!!! You dont need to open the file, how have you accessed the file by FTP or via control panel? I dont help with templates (thats what the seller is for) th search function will often help, when it dont try this in google. site:http://www.oscommerce.com/forums then your search word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
