Configure.php permissions error

[atuffin]

Hi All,

 

I have just installed 2.2rc2a and get the below error on the homepage:

 

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /customers/adl-accessories.co.uk/adl-accessories.co.uk/httpd.www/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

 

I have tried setting the permissions to both 644 and 444 and continue to get the message.

 

Any ideas why would be greatly appricieated.

 

Regards

 

Adam

Try 400

 

Some some servers do not allow some ftp clients to change permissions but this does not sound like your problem

Same problem.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Bearing in mind that I am positive that the permissions are correct. Is there away to disable the check if I run out oif options.

You should try permissions in this order until the warning goes away:

 

644

 

444

 

400

 

And you should use cPanel NOT FTP because FTP usually won't work at this for most people.

 

Be aware that permissions less than 644 make the file "read only" (even to you).

 

If all else fails you can turn the message off.

 

At the bottom of /includes/application_top.php change this:

 

  define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'true');

to

 

  define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'false');
