Permissions?


reporter

Recommended Posts

I have installed the software and I got two warnings when I go to the catalog.

 

The first one was easy. So I deleted the install folder. That warning went away.

 

The second warning says:

 

"Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /mnt/stor2-wc1-dfw1/402279/403062/store.videoverite.tv/web/content/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file."

 

What are the right user permissions?

 

Thanks,

Chad

you need to set the permissions of you includes/configure.php file to 444

you can use your ftp file manager (Chmod function) or and ftp app like wise-ftp and right click the file select properties.

Hi all,

 

without starting a new topic, I thought I would add to this as my problem is the same as the ops,

 

I understand permissions and have set the configure.php to 444, the problem I have though is that it does not keep this, as soon as I reload the connection with core FTP, the permissions are set back to 644, thus giving me the warning on the site again, I cannot get it to stay at 444 or anything other than 644 for that matter.

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

 

many thanks

Do it through your hosts admin panel, sometimes changes made using ftp clients do not "stick".
