Problem changing cfg permissions
I installed blogCMS and all is great, but now I have to change .cfg permissions from 666 to 444 for security reasons and when I try to do this from CPanel I get error "[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]"
When I try to do this from FTP (Filezilla) I dont get an error but it does not change it.
Ideas/suggestions about where the problem is appreciated

Re: Problem changing cfg permissions
You can add $CONF['alertOnSecurityRisk']=0; at the end of cfg.php, and this problem will be ignored.

Re: Problem changing cfg permissions
I had read about this on Blogcms manual butI just didn't do because I thought it could be a security risk, since you advice me to ignore it I will assume it is not too important to allow users "write" access to cgf.php file.
Thank you
EDITED:
Sorry, the above trick did not work when I tried to save cfg.php I got the same error as before and I could not save it, but I have now solved it ![]()
Here is how in case someone else has the same problem:
Go to globalfunctions.php inside admin/libs then you will see:
$CONF['alertOnSecurityRisk']=1;
Change it to 0, and it works! If I have a security risk let me know ASAP, thanks
