NYColt Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 At the top of my catalog page I get a message that says: Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /www/x/xxxx/htdocs/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. I have tried a variety of permission changes to correct it but no matter what I use it still appears. Has anyone heard of this before and if so how do I correct it. BTW I have changed the permissions on the configure.php file as well as the includes dir with no luck. I also have the same permissons set for the admin dir and get no such message. Any help would be great Thanks NYColt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronsts Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 In windows right click on configure.php, go to properties, and click checkbox read only. in Linux, go to your includes directory, and type in chmod 644 configure.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYColt Posted February 11, 2003 Author Share Posted February 11, 2003 My server host won't allow 444 so I have to call them and have them do it manually, I will let you know if it works in a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
