Problem with configure.php

[emilyg]

Hi there
I believe you heard about this problem several times....

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /mnt/vol1/home/y/o/yourit/public_html/shop/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. See this FAQ

well i tried to do all the various suggestions : i contacted my host...i uploaded a file called chmod and blah blah blah.....still dosn't work.
I'm desperate now....i don't know what to do. can please someone help me? http://www.your-italian-weddings.co.uk/shop/

thanks
Emily

As the message suggests, this is a permissions problem ...

To protect the file, usually 664 works ...

On some servers, however, you need 444 ...

The problem is, 444 cannot always be set via your FTP software and you need to use your Control Panel file manager that would of come with your domain from your hosting provider ...

NOTE: if using 444 for the permissions, in the future, if you need to reload your file, you have to either delete the copy on the server first, or change the permissions to 644 so that you can overwrite it ...

I am having the same trouble.

I've tried changing it using my FTP app, bluehost.com control panel AND I've also called bluehost tech support, to no avail.

I need a fix, and I need it quickly. My client wants to launch within the next week or two.

Speak to your hosting provider again and ask them how you are suppose to change your file permissions if you do not have full control in your Control Panel or if you need to perhap look somewhere else in there ...

You may need to change your host. I have seen some hosting environments that are not built for a PHP web application such as Zen Cart.

Have you tried Ajeh's other suggestions
i.e.
666 or 644

is not an host problem because i had oscommerce be4 and was running without any problem. I contact the hosting and they confirm the file is in 444....anyway i tried all also 000.... the message still there.
can you check if there is anything wrong in this script?
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.your-italian-weddings.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.your-italian-weddings.co.uk');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/shop/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/shop/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'templates/');
define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/');

or other suggestions.
thanks

Can you try to re-install? (backup your DB)

this will setup your configure.php file as it should be.
