Configure.php Permission Questions..

[JBright]

I've successfully installed the product numberious times, each time I set the permissions 644 I end up with a problem. I get the same error of which starts at the application_top.php file referring to the configure.php file.

 

/** Section of application_top.php **/

 

// Set the local configuration parameters - mainly for developers

if (file_exists('includes/local/configure.php')) include('includes/local/configure.php');

 

// include server parameters

require('includes/configure.php');

 

/**End of section **/

 

When I adjust the permissions to 755 they work no problem. I want to adhere to secure transactions (as much as possible). So I'd like your take on this. I attempted to stick a 644 set on configure.php noticed it wasn't working and wished I'd done a backup before hand. I also noticed that the /includes/local/ is to contain a configure.php file, is this for upgrades or?
