HELP - Permissions to the Configure.PHP file

[Guest]

Hello,

 

I am not sure how to clear up this warning:

 

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

 

I really need help with this one. I tried to edit the configure file to set the server as https and it just would not load my page after that.

 

Thanks.

You apparently need to change permissions for that file.

you need to change the permissions to the file chmod 644 or if that does not remove the message then change to chmod 444 read only state

Great!

 

I just posted a question about CSS, btw... the stylesheet you change is the one under catalog right?

 

And changes would take effect imediately?

 

Boy would it be great if you were able to do this through the admin area...

Hello,

 

Thanks everyone. The permission were set to 644 but I could not change it to 444. The hosting company only goes as low as 600 and the ftp client does not allow me to change permission. I did follow the below instructions from Blue Pony:

 

 

You should be able to set the permissions using your FTP client. If not, you can do it through code:

 

Create a php file named "secure.php" or whatever. Put the following code in it:

 

 

CODE 

<?php

chmod('includes/configure.php', 0644);

?> 

 

 

 

Just put in whatever permissions you want, 0666, 0644, etc.

 

Upload this file to your server in the Catalog folder. Then run it in your browser: http://www.yourwebsite.com/catalog/secure.php

 

Although nothing will show on the screen when you run the file, it will set the permissions correctly.

 

Thanks everyone.

Thanks, it just wasnt updating for me correctly.

 

Oh- do you have any idea about .swf files and php? I'm having a rough time getting it to show for me... I havent seen anything regarding it so I was figuring it was just me.

I wish that would work for me. When I do that, this comes up:

Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /home/mydomain/public_html/catalog/secure.php on line 3

you should have rights via your ftp program to edit the attributes of your files, else it may be time to change hosts. swf files should work properly, if called up in the proper way.

Hello,

 

I changed the permissions to the file below and now I cannot access the admin page. I am receiving the following message:

 

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /catalog/admin on this server.

 

I was able to get to the admin (control panel) by going through the following link:

www.mydomain.com/catalog/admin

 

How could I view my Control panel page? I need help!!!
