CHMOD message at the top of the cart

Hello :)

I just installed fresh Zen Cart and I chmoded everything like indicated in the docs provided with it.

The problem is that I get this message on the top of the cart :

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: xxx/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.

While the permissions of this file, and the one in the admin folder are already set 644. Is that a bug ?

Thanks for your help.

On some servers you need to use 444 vs 644 ...

Note: on some servers you cannot change a file to 444 via FTP and will need to do this via the Control Panel for your server ...

Note: files set to 444 will not be able to be overwritten via an FTP upload until changed back to 644 or 777 ... for future reference ...

Thank you very much, Ajeh.
I had to go through my control panel in order to set permissions to 444 and the message got away now :)

I have the same problem. But I have installed on a windows server. I cannot use CHMOD to change the file permissions?
How should I do?

Thank you for your help.

Get a unix server? :smartass:

Umm ... if I am not mistaken ... I never use windows servers myself ... there is a setting in the control panel or something to make the file read only ...

But I kinda lean towards the idea of get a real server ... :cool:

The webhost is too prudential to allow me change the file permissions.:no:
And I have got a different problem after I installed on Linux server which the same webhost offers...:no:
Yes. The best is having got a real server:P .
