This goes for both configure.php files? I have one in my shop dir and one in my admin dir, both are set to 644 now.
And also, I've read that .htpasswd should be set to 444, but when I do my admin panel gives an error, so they are now set to 664. Is this okay, and/or what to do with this?

The idea with the two configure.php files (or three, if you have a "local" one) is to secure them against writing by PHP code (such as osC), to minimize the chances of a hacked osC overwriting them. Depending on how your server is configured (whether PHP runs as owner or in group/world), 644 may sometimes be sufficient, but 444 is almost always sufficient. Just remember to temporarily restore to 644 if you want to edit or to upload a new copy.
N.B.: '6' = Read-write and '4' = Read-only for 'ugo' = user/owner group other/world users (Linux style)
