domainkiosk Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I have a problem here. Following the recommendations in the WHMCS documentation I set the permissions of the configuration file to 400. At first it works and the WHMCS health check is showing 0 red warnings "Needing Attention". But in a while, probably 24 hours or after a cronjob run, the settings of the configuration file are reverted back to 640 and the health message is back to "1 Needing Attention". Why is this happening, I cannot figure out. Please, advise! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS ChrisD Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hello DomainKiosk, Thanks for your post. I'd recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to see if there is any logs of when your configuration.php permissions are being reset, the cron does not change the settings of the configuration.php file so I don't think it would be coming from there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this happening, I cannot figure out. Please, advise! Hello, That's quite strange, did you at anypoint restore a backup or re-upload the file via FTP? If not then it may be something on the server that's resetting the permission perhaps a firewall or something. As Chris suggested it's best to contact your hosting provider to assist with this particular issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twhiting9275 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yeah, WHMCS isn't setting your permissions. That's not part of what it does talk to your hosting provider, find out who's doing it on that end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
