Retaliator127 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hello, I have had my oscommerce sites running now for months. All of a sudden today I get the following message : Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/host174/public_html/rc/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. This happened to all my Oscommerce sites : www.rchaven.com www.dotcom-builders.com www.discountcarvideo.com www.rc-wholesale.com www.tomekrc-wholesale.com That is just a small percentage of the sites I have made and sold to my customers.. PLEASE help me with this fix.. I was told by my Hosting company they just enabled phpsuexec tonight and that is what caused the problem.. Any help PLEASE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retaliator127 Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 This is the message I received from my Hosting company : PHP Suexec will be enabled shortly on all servers. So if you are running any php scripts please check with the software developers to ensure your scripts will continue to work under these conditions, and if a fix is needed for this please udate your script, or contact support AFTER you have contacted the software developer with the fix information. OMG Please help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 your hosting company needs to give you more information about php suexec, and you also need to find that out. else, move hosts . . . i am glad i dont have that problem, as i have numerous sites on my servers by the way, go change the properties on your files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retaliator127 Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hello, Thanks for the reply.. The problem is that I can't move hosts.. I have 176 websites running on this hosting company.. 48 are Oscommerce Websites... I changed permissions on the files but nothing seems to work.. Maybe I don't know what combination to change them to.. What information do I need from my host? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 seems to me, if someone has 176 websites running on my web servers, i would jump through hoops to keep them happy! whom do you host with, so i dont recomend them! how did you change the permissions? do you have root access to the server?

Guest Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 your host probably changed php to run as cgi, and that has an effect on .htaccess files, and bunches more! means php is no longer a module, you will have to use the SetHandler command in the .htaccess files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retaliator127 Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hello, Well the problem says : Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/host132/public_html/products/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. SO I was thinking that I had to change the permissions on the configure.php file.. I Chmod the file to 777, 755, 604, 704, 404, 644 None of them worked.. Driving me nuts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 file permissions should still work, i don tknow why that is doing that. who has ownership of the files and who is the group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
