If you're using Windows as your test server and you get this error... just do the following:
Right click on 'includes/configure.php'

Select 'Properties' (A new box will appear...)

Select/Tick 'Read-only'

Click 'Ok'
(Don't forget to do this for both your 'catalog' and 'admin' directories.

Viola!
All better...

Cheers,
Tony

<?php
chmod ("includes/configure.php", 0444);
?>

I just did this (to both config files) to eliminate this error and now none of my catagories nor items are showing up! What now???

Kind regards,
Indy

Hi All

I haven't read all the replies above so this may have already been posted.
I found this a useful workaround if your FTP client isnt allowing you to CHMOD:

Enjoy!

Hi, I have the osCommerce store setup on a Windows based server with IIS6. I have set the permissions to Read for both files. The one for admin/includes/configure.php went away but the one for includes/configure.php still shows. I have looked for answers for some time now on many sites and have yet to find one. Most of the information is for Linux based servers if CHMOD doesn't work, but what to do on Windows server if you have set the permissions correctly yet error still shows? Does anyone know how to fix this?

I had to change my permissions to 644, that did not work so i went to www-/cat/includes/configure.php file and changed the warn=file to false..

I use 444 for the configure.php files. Some say it is overkill, but it works. Other files can be 755.


I go to the includes/header.php set this to false, or go to the includes/application_top.php and set to false. Either will work ...
