Guest Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 When I signed onto my website today as a visitor there was a warning at the top of the page. It said: Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/(my user)/public_html/store/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. I don't know what caused this, when I set the most recent change I made back to the default it made no difference, but it clearly is a problem. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks, Mark

♥mdtaylorlrim Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 And do some routine checks to see if your site has been compromised. If it was right a few days ago and it is wrong today, then maybe a hacker left it that way... Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question.

Guest Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Change the file permissions for the /includes/configure.php to 444. How do I change file permissions?
♥mdtaylorlrim Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 How do I change file permissions? That depends on what kind of access you have to your files. Do you use FTP, cPanel, command line...what? Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question. See How to Secure My Site and How do I...?
