Security warning message: configure.php is writeable

[sccr410]

First off, it isn't writable - it is set to 0644. How can I turn off these annoying warning messages?

Set it to 444 through your account control panel access...
The "6" indicates that this is writeable by the owner & how different Apache configs are set to report this causes the indicated behavior

[sccr410]

I've tried every permission level down to 0000 and it still says the file is writeable.

Is there any way to just turn off the error message?

Is this Apache on a Linux OS or on a Win OS?

This is hosted at MediaTemple - Unix servers

If they provide a control panel - have you tried setting the permissions through this means?
And are the settings that you are setting to preserved?
