I have been struggling for days to get my OSC website running. I have spoken to my host for the umpteenth time and now they tell me OSC isn't configured to run on Zeus! What do I need to change for it to work. I can't even get to the install (Access Denied).

 

My knowledge of OSC is very limited so please write slowly

With the help of our host I have got the website working but I can't get rid of this in pink at the top of my website:

 

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

 

It is set to 644 but the message still appears, I have tried 444 and 400 but it changes it to 644 and 600 respectively, how to I maki it secure?

I understood from other posters that often this setting cannot be made with your FTP program but has to be done though a console.

 

If you are 110% sure it is not a writeable file you can remove the warning most likely by changing the define for WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE to false (includes/application_top.php, bottom of the file).

 

// set which precautions should be checked
 define('WARN_INSTALL_EXISTENCE', 'true');
 define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'true');

Is it safe for me to do this? Will it leave a security risk on my site?

 

This is the code I can enter:

Owner 6 Read and write

Group 4 Read only

Others 4 Read only

 

If I continue with it will it leave my website open to hacking?
