I am able to write to config...

Help! We have this error which presents itself as a big red banner on the top of our site:
I am able to write to the configuration file: /mnt/blahblahblah.com/web/content/store/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. See this FAQ

I went to the FAQ and still have NO IDEA how to fix this.

Using either your FTP program or the file manager in your control panel you need to change the permissions (usually in your FTP program you would right click on the file and select properies)

See here for how you would do it using Smart FTP for example - http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/ftp/ftp_chmod.htm

I just noticed on that same page there's a link to a tutorial how to do it using cPanel as well - http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/...ermissions.htm

It is right there!!

And everybody has to start somewhere, not everybody can interpret such an error message (as is evident from the OP), no matter how basic YOU might think it is :unsure:

Whatever :unsure: My dog can walk. It doesn't mean I'd trust him to find his own way to the shop to collect my newspaper, does it? :D

Yet we trust them to find drugs in luggage at airports, crooks who make off after a robbery, pheasants who fall into the undergrowth after being shot.

Your poor dog must be particularly dumb! :D

You could be right. But then he most likely got his training from kobra :D
