Configure.php permission problem

[isaacr25]

I've just completed the installation, and I've re-named the zc_install directory. I've also changed the permissions of the configure.php files in catalog/includes and catalog/admin/includes. Now, when I go to my store, I get the following error in the header:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: path/htdocs/catalog/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.

I've changed the file permissions to 644 in FileZilla, but the error still persists. Please advise. Thanks!

Try changing the permissions to 444 ...

NOTE: you may have to do this through your Control Panel for your domain, depending on your hosting site and how your domain is configured ...

Changing to 444 did it. Thanks!

newbie question: how to change permission? By editing? Sometimes I am using ubuntu and from here (using ftp) I can not change the permission (right click, properties does not give options)>

The FAQ section is real handy for quick answers. Searching for "permissions" brings up these tutorials:

I haven't seen the article 148.
