Permission problem

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/sowuk2/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).

That is what keeps showing up even though the permission is set 644. Any help on how to get it off

Re: Permission problem

If 644 does not work then try 444 or 400.

Re: Permission problem

Use your hosting control panel to set the permissions.
Some hosts don't allow the use of FTP software to set files as low as 444.

Re: Permission problem

I am getting the same thing....

The odd thing is, my site was working fine for months. Then just today, about an hour ago, this pops up. I tried 644, 400, and 444. Still gives me the same problem.

It doesn't look good with that on the top line - how can I fix this asap so it doesn't shy customers away?

Re: Permission problem

What did your host change?

Re: Permission problem

Well ... if it was fine yesterday and you haven't changed anything, that sorta' leaves your host.

Re: Permission problem

I kind of knew that, just had to hear it for reassurance. I am checking with them now.

Thank you for the amazing quick responses.
