The following error message keeps appearing at the top of my site:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /www/*/*/domain.com/htdocs/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

The permission is correct at 644 but I have tried changing it to 444 or 400 but it still reverts back to 644 but the error keeps appearing at the top of the website.

I would be grateful if somebody could provide a solution to this problem.

Regards

You can't use an FTP client to set a permission of 444 - you have to do it with a script. This is mentioned in the "getting started" topic in this forum section.

I have an osCommerce add-on that helps with this - Protection of Configuration (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2137).
