[advarntek]

hi i have changed webhost and am setting up my zencart store again i have made it from a fresh installation and it worked fine. when i went to my home page i get the thing saying remove zc_install so i did and the error dissapered but this error still remains:
Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/nnggbiqa/public_html/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file (read-only, CHMOD 644 or 444 are typical). You may need to use your webhost control panel/file-manager to change the permissions effectively. Contact your webhost for assistance.

at the top of the page. i have changed the file permissions for the files but it still does not go away is there some way i can manualy remove the error. please help.

The error IS there for a reason. Some ftp programs do not really change the permissions, as you may not be logged in as the owner of the files. I think that MIGHT be your problem. Consult your hosting company for root access to your file permissions.

i have change the files though three programs to be sure my ftp progrm . the file manager in my vodahost(my hosting company) CP and using a direct file link.

are you setting to 644 or 444
and is your php setup using phpsuecxec ( cgi )

if so you definitly need this set to 444

[advarntek]

yes it is using cgi and yes i am setting them to 444

[Merlinpa1969]

most hots do NOT you set to 444 in ftp, and will require you to actually go into the control panel file manager,

you can verify this in ftp by attempting to set the permissions in ftp then refresh the remote folder

[advarntek]

but the file manager inmy vodahost cp does not let me edit, upload, change, move files in any way so i have to use the ftp.

[Merlinpa1969]

then you will need to contact the host and change it
unless you have ssh access if so
cd /to the includes folder and run
chmod 444 configure.php
