Moving the download directory

[SGilligan]

I'm trying to make my downloadable products more secure so want to move the download directory outside the web root (/home/myname/download/).

So I moved the folder in the right place, and updated DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD in 'includes/configure.php' and 'admin/includes/configure.php'

BUT, I get this error on my store

Warning: The downloadable products directory does not exist: /home/myname/public_html/storedirectory/download/. Downloadable products will not work until this directory is valid.

Whatever I change the DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD thing to, I always get the same error, the exact same path is shown in the error too.

Not sure where the problem lies :/

Any help?

What type of server are you on?

Linux CentOS

Your changes to the configure.php files aren't being saved properly, because the file is read-only. Make the file writable before uploading your edits back to the server.
