potential security risk

[bluedogpcs]

Just installed OSCommerce on my site and this comes up along the top

 

"Warning Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/blu48974/public_html/shop/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file."

 

I looked around and its to do with permissions so I go in and make the changes but it wont stay changed and the message keeps appearing.

 

Any ideas

How are you trying to change them? You might have to change them through File manager in your Cpanel for them to stick.

I'm having the same problem, I've changed them in my FTP Chmod settings to 444 but the just change back to 644

Yep thats exactly whats happening to me even when I change it to 444 i think it was, tried both. Doing it through the FTP program

Try through the file manager in your hosts control panel.

 

If that doesn't work call their help desk.
