aldaska Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi I installed oscommerce-2.2rc2a, everything was good, but when I go to my catalog, it shows me a warning "Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/kevinkar/public_html/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file." I don't know what to do, you can see it at http://www.kevinkartsracing.com/catalog/ Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what to do, you can see it at http://www.kevinkartsracing.com/catalog/ Thanks It depends on your host. You need to "CHMOD" the file to 444. If you have a file manager in your control panel than sometimes you can change the permissions there. You obviously need to make it read only.

aldaska Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 "4. Make sure that the permissions on all of the folders are set to 755, and if that does not work then set them to 777. Make sure that the includes/configure.php file and the admin/includes/configure.php file are set to 777 for the duration of the install. Once the install is complete reset to 644, 444, or 400 depending on your server setup." I don't know where can I see the permissions set. When I open the file, configure.php I don't see the set??? help meeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browse to your configure.php file and at the top there should be a permissions option. Change the permissions to 4 4 4. Most likely for default they will be set at 6 4 4.

When I open the file, configure.php I don't see the set??? help meeeee Use the FTP program to set permissions. Right click on the file or folder (from within the FTP tool), select File Attributes, then change the value there from eg 755 to 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germ Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 That's not cPanel. That's the osC File Mangler Manager :huh: You'd be better off never touching that.. :blush: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
