Main Page Blank

[wingguy]

I seem to have the site setup OK, but have 2 problems....

I went to 'define mainpage' and made some changes. then the main page body went blank. Now I have some programming error that won't allow the page to display at all.

I also have an error message at the top of the main page ( before the programming error mentione dabove ) that my configure.php file was writtable. I changed all of the configure.php files so they wouldn't write, and still get the error alert.

Hope I explained this right. Any help would be appreciated.

What did you change? Did you do this through admin? What does the 'programming error' say? If you can't see the php error then turn on error reporting in application_top (or check your error logs) and then post the error here ...

I also have an error message at the top of the main page ( before the programming error mentione dabove ) that my configure.php file was writtable. I changed all of the configure.php files so they wouldn't write, and still get the error alert.

Don't forget there are 2 configure files - one in catalog/includes and the other in catalog/admin/includes - have you changed both of them?

I was changing the body of the index page when it started to come up blank. I was going thru the 'define mainpage' option. I may have this resolved, as I found the file and am modifing it with my editor. I uploaded the change and it seems to work OK.

However, I stil have that pesty pink alert message at the top of the front page.
Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/heartofg/public_html/osCMAX/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file

I checked both Configure files and they are both at 644. the user is the only one able to write. Anything else I can do or check to resolve this?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Set the configure.php files to 600 or 400.

[wingguy]

OK, I tried 600 for both files and still got the error message. I then tried 400, and got it still. But when I re-checked it after the 400, the system changed it back to 600. I've never seen this before.
Any suggestions on this?

If you PM me or post your URL I will take a look ...

This usually means you need to contact your host and have them change the permissions, or use ssh command line to do it.
