A tip about the warning message
I am new at this and I also had the same problem with changing the permissions on the store side of the site.
I tried changing the settings to 644 and 444 from both the ftp and the control panel with no luck.
I contacted my host to trouble shoot for me and here is what he said:
Hi,
I looked at the files and permissions are correct. The error on the shop homepage itself was pointing to another location:
/home/xxxxxx/mydomain-www/shop/includes/configuration.php
the names were changed to protect the guilty
Which I corrected.

This is the place that the page should have been pointing to:
/home/xxxxx/www/shop/admin/includes/configuration.php
So I guess that I put in the incorrect information during the installation.
Now I am not sure that will help everyone who comes up with that warning, but it may help someone.
I now have to go figure out if anything else will be effected.

ps, the warning that we are talking about is:
Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/success/public_html/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.
