Security warning after install

[k_pricey]

Hi all. I keep getting the following security warning when I view my store:
Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /mnt/vol1/home/t/o/toolsh1/public_html/store/includes/configure.php.

I have used filezilla to reset the permissions to 644, 444 and even 400 but the warning still remains even after I have refreshed my browser. I called the web host to confirm the changes and they say that the permissions have been set correctly (644, 444 or 400 respectively). The warning message is still there however.

My host provides no method of altering permissions through the control panel but as I said they confirmed that the changes had been successful through filezilla.

Any ideas?

you will need to login your web hosting control panel and go there to set the permission.

Start with a blank text 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)

Once you see the 'Completed' msg. then load your Zen Cart "index" page to verify Error msg. is gone.

Now delete the chmod.php page.
