mind if I hi jack this thread as well, seems pointless setting up a new one.

I too am getting that the configure.php files are writeable message, I have reinstalled everything several times, cleared down my databases and even tried on different domains and using different versions of Zencart. Also tried changing file permissions via FTP and Shell Access (using PuTTy). Even my webhost says the permissions seems fine. I am at a loss to why this is happening, I had Zencart successfully installed and functioning last year and this message just appeared, now I can't get rid of it.

I can only presume its something that my webhost has done serverside. Any ideas anyone???......my test site link is http://www.aromancaweb.co.uk/zen

Thanks in advance
