I just installed Zen Cart as a one click install from dreamhost. Everything went well, and I have gotten to the finished installin page. But now it says the final step is :
“For security, you will need to reset your configure.php files located in the /admin/includes/ and /includes/ folders back to read-only mode before allowing people to access your store.
”
I have no idea how to do this! I tried the set up instructions and they say:
“Delete the zc_install directory and change the admin/includes/configure.php and the includes/configure.php files to not be writable (by anybody) or world-readable!
(That’s: chmod 440 configure.php from the command line..)”
Which confuse me more! Please help! I am using dreamweaver and am very confident in using files and ftp etc. I have located the files I just have no idea what to do with them.
Thanks!

You can use an ftp program like SmartFTP (there are many others as well) to perform a CHMOD on your files via Just right click on the folder or file that you want to change in SmartFTP and you’ll see the CHMOD option in the popup menu. You can then just type in the 440 code and press OK, hey presto your files are secure!
