Your 'configure.php' file permissions may be writable, thats 706 ro 777. change these to 644 via chmod.

This is considered a security risk as the database server parameters, including the username and password, are stored in the configuration file.

 

It is recommended to correspond with the server administrator to make sure the configuration file permissions are set to the most minimum level possible.

 

The file permissions can be changed on the server with the following command:
