I get this Warning message ..

[Moncia]

I have had my store up an running for a couple of weeks now, and everything has been fine, but today I suddanly got this message on the top of the page.

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/monical/public_html/store/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 checked the file in question, and it was set to 644. I changed it to 444 to check, but I still got the same message. Now I have put my store on mainenence mode, but can anyone please help me?

Did you put it in 444 using FTP? If so.. it may have reverted back to 444. Use this small script instead:

<?php
chmod("admin/includes/configure.php",0444);
chmod("includes/configure.php",0444);
?>

Save the file as "chmod.php" and put it into the root of your store. Navigate to it using your browser and it should show up blank (unless your host has restricted CHMOD via php).. and the error should be gone
