    Default Problems with Zen Cart after Provider moved my website to a new server

    Hi,

    I´m using Zen Cart 1.3.8a installed on a GoDaddy Linux server.

    The installation I did in January was a success and up to now everything worked fine.

    Yesterday I received an information mail from GoDaddy, that they have transferred my website to a new server for improvement of speed etc. and although they had taken great care that everything remains unchanged I should check my website.

    When I did this, I found a big red warning message at the top of my index Zen Cart page with the following text:

    "Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/content/i/t/o/itoblique1/html/zenstore/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file (read-only, CHMOD 644 or 444 are typical). You may need to use your webhost control panel/file-manager to change the permissions effectively. Contact your webhost for assistance."

    Of course I originally had set the permissions on the configure.php files to 644. When I checked with my FTP program I saw that permissions were wrong now, so I changed them back. But the warning message kept staying.
    When I contacted GoDaddy they said it could take up to 24 hours for the change to become active - so I waited.
    Now more than 24 hours are over and in my FTP program as well as in the file manager of my GoDaddy account the configure.php file is set to 644 - but still I get the warning message in my store. You can see that here: http://www.itofarm.com/zenstore/

    Any ideas what I can do to get rid of the alert? I suppose when the setting of the file is 644 on FTP and file manager I can rely on that, or could this be a false info?
    Help very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
    Ingo

    Set permissions to 444 and you may have to use the account file manager to do this or contact them if can find no way.

    I just changed the permission to 444 and now the alert message is gone.

    Would Zen Cart work with 444 as well?

    Regards

    Hi Kobra,

    thanks, I haven´t seen your superquick response. So I leave the permission on 444.

    Best regards
