ZenCart / osCommerce security warnings

After a ZenCart / osCommerce / CRELoaded installation you may receive the following warning:

"Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/user/public_html/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk..."

In order to fix this issue you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in your cPanel and go to the File manager;
  2. First navigate to your store's directory and then go to the includes directory where you will find the configure.php file;
  3. Click on the file in question and from the top right menu change its permissions to 444;
  4. You will have to change similarly the permissions of the file configure.php in your store's admin/includes directory.
