Hi all,
The installation went A-OK , and I couldn't be more pleased with XOOPS 2, it's tops!

However, I get the following message re chmod change:

WARNING: File /home/httpd/vhosts/cdtalk.net/httpdocs/mainfile.php is writeable by the server.
Please change the permission of this file for security reasons.
in Unix (444), in Win32 (read-only)

I tried doing just this, but it keeps coming up when I login as the admin. I am sure it's my fault somehow, but I wonder if some nice person could point this newbie the rigt way to fix it?

Many thanks

What OS?
Are you changing the permissions mainfile in /home/httpd/vhosts/cdtalk.net/httpdocs ?

Unix on the server. But I think I fixed it, I read another message further back in this forum which recommends chmod to 644, which looks like fixed it. Then I tried chmoding to 444 through the ftp, and this worked as well (I was doing it through the file management facility on the server before) Thanks.

mainfile.php should always be chmodded 444 on a live site, i.e. after successful installation
