configure.php permisson correct, but still showing red error message

I am showing the red warning message on the top of my site even after changing the configure.php file permissions to 644. How can I fix this?

Running 1.3.5. Installed fresh August 10, 06.

I've experienced this issue on an install running under php.cgi. The solution was to use my host control panel and change the permissions there.

After poking around in my host control panel and trying a few things, all that was needed is a comparison between the orginal file and the actual file on the server. I used winmerg to compare my previous verson 1.32 and apparently I missed the first item at the top. Site does not show the red message after uploading the edited file.

Thank you for the cgi/php idea. Tried it, but didn't work. All is well.

many hosts won't let you set configure.php to a CHMOD of 644 you'll have to go and set it to 444....and you'll probably have to do it through the control panel file manager

I'm having somewhat of the same issue. I updated my DB. And then went to update my source files and i'm all the way at Database setup and i'm getting the same error. "Error encountered while writing /includes/configure.php". My permissions are set to 777. I just used the configure.php from the download I extracted. I downloaded winmerge but I don't really know what to do with it. I'm guessing it has something to do with that. Any help would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks.

Okay i think i messed something up. I now only have the option to Install, no upgrade...

You'll probably need to go and get the release from September 4th and install that one.

I'm using the September 3rd release, is that the one you're talking about?

Yes, that's the one...

The install process for it is quick and painless as long as it is done right...

When you select "upgrade database" you have like only three steps...

Have a full backup of your database just in case, but as long as all goes well, you won't need it, because it keeps all of your settings and everything in your shop...

Is the name of your Zip File:
zen-cart-v1.3.5-full-fileset-09042006.zip

If not, it matters ...

Okay i'm dumb, i figured it out. Just had to replace my old files with the new ones. Figured the installer did it itself or something. Thanks for the help.
