configure.php write problems

[LVNeptune]

I have the usual issue most windows users are having, except I think I know WHY it's doing it, the configure.php file is saying that it is writeable, it is not. I think it has something to do with PHP5. Any ideas on how to fix this? I read on another site to just disable the checking of configure.php completely, as the file is in fact RO. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have had the same problem. So i guess its got something to do with the php5 upgrade. Well my host crystaltech are also looking into it. If anyone finds any tips please post them to me on siddharth AT groversequip DOT com

In properties select Read Only check box.

This post is for all those who are having trouble with configure.php as writable eventhough the permissions are read only on a windows server running php5

move the configure.php to /includes/configure/configure.php

change the path in the /includes/application_top.php now pointing to the configure.php location as above

set read only permission to the /includes/configure folder

I don't know what the repercussions are but here is how I solved my problem. I will do some testing on the site to verify everything works.

Can on all the guru's shed some light on this ?
