Error of file permission configure.php CHMOD file but error still present

[Guest]

Hi

 

I have just installed OSCOM but I get an error saying the file configure.php can be written to. I have CHMOD the file to the lowest my host will allow me .... 644 but still get the error message.

 

My host won't allow me to CHMOD files below 6 for the start figure .... don't get me started!

 

Is there any fix for this or am I destined to change hosting companies!

 

Thanks in advance!

There's more than one file that you need to change. There's a configure.php in catalog/includes and one in the admin too.

All fixed!!!

 

If anyone else gets the same problem ..... simply edit includes/application_top.php

 

Line 506 - define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'true');

 

comment this line out and bye bye error!

 

Obviously not recommended as it is there as a safety feature but this is a short way round it
