Guest Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hello, I was finally able to install os Commerce today.....but I am getting this error message Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/idodet5/public_html/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. I know it telling to adjust the permissions, but how do I know which ones??

You change teh permissions on /home/idodet5/public_html/includes/configure.php just like it says. Use your hosting companies control panel to change the permissions. To something like 444 or 644 Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question. See How to Secure My Site and How do I...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinxxer Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 hi, i'm new to oscommerce - i've read most of the threads regarding this 'common' error: Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/mydomain/public_html/mystore/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. and i've tried to change the permissions through my ftp editor in cpanel - it looks like it keeps resetting itself. i'm still configuring the store for cosmetic changes - does that have anything to do with resetting the permissions on that file? thanks for any help, callie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a button at the top to change permissions on a highlighted file. thanks so much, although i think i got it working now - once i changed the permission, i hit 'reload' or 'refresh' and it had the new permission settings in place. i'm pretty sure i was doing something to not set it in the first place. thanks! ;) callie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brata Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Everyone is talking about changing the permissions to a number - 444 or 644. My host's control panel has no numbers in the permissions. The only choices are: Web Visible Allows users to browse files and directories using the Web. or Executable Allows users to execute files as scripts. Or it allows Advanced Permissions, which include: Web user permissions: READ, WRITE, or EXECUTE and Owner Permissions: READ, WRITE, or EXECUTE How do the permissions on my webhost (GoDaddy) translate to the numbers 444 or 644?

Set the permissions to READ only, across the board. If you need to edit it, you will have to set the OWNER permissions to Read & Write to make the edit. When finished change back to READ only.
