configure.php settings

Recommended Posts

Hi, When I access my shopping cart I get a warning on top that I need to change the settings for the includes/configure.php file. The settings are currently at 444. I tried other settings, e.g. 644 but the message does not disappear. What am I doing wrong here?

 

Thanks,

 

Ed

Either use the file manager supplied by your webhosts control panel or you can try using an FTP client, to change the permissions of those files to a lower setting, probably 444 to be sure the server sees those files as read only.

 

If those will not allow you to change file permissions down to a read only setting, then try this.

 

1. Create a file, call it whatever you want...i.e. fileperm.php and make the following code additions to it before uploading it to your working site.

 

2. Add the following code changing the URL in the code to that of your sites URL.

 

<?php
 error_reporting(0);
   if ( ( !chmod( "includes/configure.php", 0444 ) ) ||
        ( !chmod( "admin/includes/configure.php", 0444 ) ) ) {
   }
header( "Location: http://yourwebsite.com" );
?>

 

3. Upload the file to the main catalog of your site.

4. Using a web browser, navigate to the file and by doing so the file permissions will change and the error message will disappear.

5. Delete the fileperm.php file.
