Need help with errors on new installation

[Amy Drysdale]

I have just installed osCommerce and have a number of errors that I don't know how to correct, any help woul be greatly appreciated.

 

The first error "I am able to write to the configuration file: /customers/ucfclan.net/ucfclan.net/httpd.www/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file."

 

We have used our ftp program to change the file to 644 and 444 and still get the error, there is no way to change file permissions on our cpanel (our host pointed us to use an ftp program when we asked about changing file permissions) How can we clear this error?

 

 

The others are as follows:

you need to create the /tmp folder in catalogue folder and point the oscommerce via oscommerce admin panel to use your tmp folder.
