Able to write to configuration file?

[Guest]

Hi, I've just installed oscommerce, and I keep getting a message at the top of the screen

 

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

 

How do I change this?

 

And another question; I wanted to write my terms and conditions in the condition.php file, but it keeps on saying there's an error. I wrote it out in plain html, and it worked perfectly fine on my current site. I'm not really an PHP pro, but does everything have to be on one line if I write down a story? :rolleyes:

 

Thank you,

Wendy

You need to chmod your catalog\includes\configure.php file to 444 or 644

You need to chmod your admin\includes\configure.php file to 444 or 644

This is done in catalog\includes\languages\english\conditions.php . Look for this code line

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '<table border="0" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
   <tr> 
     <td><div align="center">BUSINESS WORKOUT LIMITED<strong><br><br>
       CONSUMER TERMS OF SALE<br><br>
       <em>PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SALE CAREFULLY BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER 
       AND RETAIN A COPY OF THESE TERMS AND YOUR ORDER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE</em></strong></div><br></td>
   </tr>
<tr>
   <td> 
<p><font size="-1">1. Format of the Contract <br>

 

and enter everything you want to enter after the

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '

but before the

');

tr></table>');

thank you, it worked :D

 

Another quick question, it now reads

Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.

 

in what folder should I creat it, and could someone explain it a little bit further?

 

Thank you. :rolleyes:

it has to be made directly on the C: drive if you are using windows...

 

ie: c:\tmp

 

 

hope that helps
