"able to write to the configuration file:" error

[Guest]

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

 

I've looked at the wiki and it says to set the permissions to 644 - I've done this but still get the error.

Try 444 if that doesn't do it, try bluepony's teeny script in this thread.

You can change the number to whatever you want.

Able to Write to the Configuration File

 

 

ERROR:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\tbsonline\\kyangflowers\\shop\\catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

 

FIX:

Since you are on a windows box and using IIS, set both configure.php files to read only (644) and that will resolve the message. This is also for any other servers.

Thanks, guys :)

644 is not read only, the correct setting for your config file is 400 (that's read only).
