Store web page hacked and can't find which file to fix

The following warning is displaying at the top of the main store page.

 

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

 

Pretty sure it happened after I used Microsoft Expression Web 4 to ftp the site to local drive for first time to fix a site issue with USPS.

 

Also by doing so, it added _VTI_Conf to every folder on the site causing confusing text to appear on main page. Got that fixed but need help with the warning shown. I've changed the permissions on the configure.php file and will read up on security. I've acquired the site and just don't know enough about MS Expression or PHP yet.

 

I've spent many hours trying to find it and I'm sure with help I could get it resolved more quickly.

 

Pretty new at posting here so please forgive if it's not quite right.

 

Thanks so much.

As with most problems you encounter when using osc, goole has the answer, a search using this prefix

 

site:www.oscommerce.com/forums

 

e.g.

 

site:www.oscommerce.com/forums Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file

 

will generally provide the answer.

 

Check your host's knowledgebase on changing file permissions.

 

Most MS products add stuff somehow to something, in this case it is extra files, some of their editors add extra html, best to steer clear of them untill you know how they will mess thing up.
