Hi there

This morning, when I logged in into admin, I got this message on the to of the page:

Error: Catalog images directory is not writeable: /home/virtual/site50/fst/var/www/html/images/

Any idea what that supposed to mean? Thanks

What are the permissions on your /images directory?

Hi Kobra. Its 755. This message only appears when I open Categories/Products under Catalog

755 is writeable - - are you certain that this is the directory that your install is looking at??

Yes, I am sure.

Everything seems to work fine, images in online catalog work fine as well. But I have just reminded myself that I had a similiar problem yesterday but slightly differen. When I opened shops front page I got this message:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: ==================== This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file (read-only, CHMOD 644 or 444 are typical).

So I did. Is it connected? Todays problem with yesterdays? Or is it totally something else?

Totally something else

What is in both your configure.php files for

Code:

 define('DIR_WS_IMAGES',
