    Default New Installation Error Message

    I just moved my site to a new host (using 1.3.7) and did a fresh install. I am getting the following error message:

    Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/content/a/j/k/ajking5464/html/kings-kreations/zen/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.

    The file listed isn't in my directory. Ideas?
    www.kings-kreations.com

    /zen/includes/configure.php

    Check and check again - that file must be there or you would not get the message

    Sorry, I wasn't very clear. The zen/includes/configure.php file is there. The part that doesn't exist is: /home/content/a/j/k/ajking5464/html/
    When I look for that directory in my FTP, it's simply not there...I'm lost!

    Make a blank file and inside put the following code:

    <?php
    chmod("includes/configure.php", 0444);
    chmod("admin/includes/configure.php", 0444);
    echo 'Completed'
    ?>


    Note: if you renamed the 'admin' directory then change "admin" to whatever you renamed it to and you're good to go.

    Save the file as chmod.php and upload it to the same directory where these files are:
    index.php - ipn_main_handler.php - nddbc.html

    Now load this URL into your Browser: http://yoursite.com/chmod.php
    (adjust URL accordingly if Zen Cart is in a sub-directory)

    You will see the 'Completed' msg. and can then load your Zen Cart "index" page to verify Error msg. is gone.

    Any Admin login problem(s) should also be gone.

    Now delete the 'chmod.php' page.

    Use your hosts supplied files manager and change the permissions for configure.php to 444 - - Not with your FTP client

    Thanks for the help! I wasn't able to find any files with my host, but I simply made the chmod.php file and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much for the quick solution! :-)

    Grrrr...I had this working making the chmod.php file, but had to do another new installation and now I am getting the same warning message again:

    Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/content/a/j/k/ajking5464/html/zen/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.


    When I create the file and upload it to /zen/chmod.php, I get these messages:

    Warning: chmod(): No such file or directory in /home/content/a/j/k/ajking5464/html/chmod.php on line 2

    Warning: chmod(): No such file or directory in /home/content/a/j/k/ajking5464/html/chmod.php on line 3
    Completed

    Obviously I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm sure I'm overlooking something very simple. Any help is very appreciated!
