Security warning when running osCommerce on a Server 2003/Xampp platform

[simrae]

I'm running osCommerce on a Server2003 Platform. This is only being used internally, so security is not a major issue at this time. However I am being plagued by the following message that appears in pink at the top of the browser window:

 

"Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: C:/xampp/htdocs/shops/imagelab/includes/configure.php"

 

I have changed this files attributes to read-only on the server, but I still get the message. I know I have got the correct file, because if I remove READ access, the website dies - does anyone have a clue what is going on here, and what I should do to fix it?

 

Thanks...

You can turn the error off if all else fails.

 

At the bottom of /includes/application_top.php

 

  define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'true');

Change to:

 

  define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'false');
