setting chmod permissions on catalog/includes/configure.php

[Guest]

on the top of my catalog page i get the warning

?Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /domains/c/c/cctv-city.com/public_html/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.?

 

i have set this file to 644 as recommended in the installation manual (also tried 744) the command i am using to do this is with dreamweaver > window > site FTP log

"site chmod 644 /catalog/includes/configure.php" this is excepted and confirmed but i still get the message in my catalog.

 

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong.

 

Thanks

I'm getting the exact same problem for the first time today.

 

I've tried CHMODing the configure.php to several different permissions, but a refresh still shows the error when I'm on 644 permission.

 

Does the catalog/includes dir need to be at a specific permission? I didn't change its permission, so it should be right.

 

I've also tried fresh installation (without updating the data), with automatic configuration (to save the data to the configure.php), and I still get the error at the top warning me that the file can be written to.

 

Any ideas?

Found a "fix" in this topic:

It says to set configure.php to 444. It worked, but I'm not sure if there are any reasons not to use 444.

thanks

 

i think 444 sets to read-only- which should be OK
