Lock configuration file?

[warmbells]

Hi all,

I have been having trouble with me adserver installation and I have had to install it again. When I go to the adfministratior page I get this message

 

It is possible to edit all settings because the configuration file is not locked, but this could lead to security issues. If you want to secure your system, you need to lock the configuration file for this installation .

 

I am 71 and the grey matter is getting a bit slow, how do I lock the configuration file?

Thanks,

Gerald

I have checked the permissions and they are set to -rw-r--r-- (644) yet it is still showing as unlocked, what else can I do?

check permission of all the *.conf.php files in var/

maybe the webserver (apache?) is the file owner and thus writable.

Thanks for the reply,

 

There is a default.conf.php that is set to 644 also. The var folder is set to 755 is that correct?

I know I am bit late for this but just incase for anyone googling this issue: the file owner should not be the webserver. make it chown by root

hi, I seem to have the same problem, both files ending with conf.php have permissions set to 644, but I still get the message in admin saying " It is possible to edit all settings because the configuration file is not locked, but this could lead to security issues.
