Mainfile.php Error.

I just finished transferring my site to a new server and everything seems to be working fine except one thing. When I enter the administrator menu, it states in red letters, the following.

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

Thus, I went into smartftp and selected mainfile.php and changed the chmod to 444. When I do this, I still get that warning. I go into smart ftp again and check and the view settings are 644 once again. I tried this with several ftp programs but the settings just go back to 644 every time. Please tell me how to resolve this issue. Thanks.

Firstly, quickly remove your complete path from the post


as in change to:

WARNING: File /home/***********/mainfile.php is writeable by the server.
Or something like that.

Secondly, I don't know if it works, but how about setting the mainfile.php readonly on your PC before you upload?

Otherwise someone else needs to help you

I wonder if your space on the new server is fully functional yet?

I know that it was a couple of days before mine was following a server move and just at the point where I was beginning to panic a little everything suddenly started working.

Either way, a call you your server hosts is in order, I think.

Try making a file - say "chmod.php" - and uploading it to your root or specifically the directory with mainfile.php.

So, chmod.php should have something like this in it:
chmod (mainfile.php, 0777);
?>


Then, point your browser to the address of chmod.php to run it.
mainfile.php should become 777, yes? Then, you should freely be able to change to 444.
???
I don't know.

Just to add to BroHam's post, make sure that you delete that chmod.php file afterward...

Re: Mainfile.php Error.

If you have cpanel this can be set inside your file manager.

I had the same problem over at bluewho if I remember correctly. No matter what I used did not work. Anyway cpanel was the answer for me.
