Permissions Error

[olly79]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone had the same issue with the following warning message in Admin:

Configuration file is still writeable by the user the webserver runs under. This poses a major security risk, please drop writing permissions for include/config.php file immediately!

My config.php file is set to 644 and I have removed the Install folder; therefore, I cannot understand as to why I'm still receiving this error?

Many thanks

some servers require 444 instead of 644 i do believe

Hi,

Yes, I have tried 444; however, both 644 and 444 still leave me with the same warning message each time I log into the admin panel...

I guess this is an error somewhere?

are you using ftp or cpanel/file manager to change the permissions

if using ftp try using cpanel sometimes ftp changing of permissions doesn't work....

When using cpanel the ONLY way to do it is login to cpanel and change it from the file manager.

Hi all,

Yes, changing the permissions in CPanel to 444 did the trick!!!!

Thanks for all your help :-)
