neaweb6 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hey guys, I was going to update to the newest release of WHMCS and when I went to Health and Updates I got a failure message stating that my configuration.php file was writeable. I changed the permissions to 400 and then proceeded to prepare to update WHMCS. I ended up putting off the update until the next day. When I logged back in, I got the same warning. I checked and my configuration.php was back to 640. I contacted my upstream hosting provider and they weren't making the change, so I figured it was either an add-on module or a misconfigured setting. Any idea on how to fix this or figure out what is making the change? It seems to revert back every day or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS ChrisD Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hello neaweb6, It's unusual for an addon to change the permissions of the configuration.php file, in terms of settings nothing should change those permissions on the file, is your upstream provider able to see anything in the server logs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zomex Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I've seen another report of this today. I would recommend contacting your hosting provider to check if their firewall for example automatically changes file permissions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
