configuration file permissions

[orency]

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: D:/hshome/xxxxxx/yyyyyy.ie/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file

 

I have successfully installed the system but get the above error message each time I launch Os commerce. Any ideas?

In Windows, you can try right clicking on the file, selecting Properties, checking the box for Read Only, clicking apply, and clicking OK.

 

PHP uses a broken API for the is_writable function in Windows that doesn't actually check permissions. However, it often works if you mark the file as read only, which also bypasses permission checks.
