Hi all, and happy holidays! I just updated my several weeks old CVS,
and I'm having a permissions problem. When I try to log in, I get the
error "Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world
writable!". I traced this back to an update on 12/8:
* libraries/Config.class.php: Refuse to load config file with world
writable permissions, refuse to work with existing config dir.
No matter what permissions I set on my config.inc.php, I get the
error, even after I remove basically all permissions. I'm running on
Windows 2003/NTFS/PHP 5.1.1/IIS 6. I'm curious if anybody's tested
the CVS on this platform yet, since that update. I'm out of ideas how
to fix it short of commenting out the source.

It has been already reported by Sebastian, but I didn't get to fixing
till now. As it looks like permissions on Windows doesn't return
anything reasonable I just disabled this check for Windows.

just set the file to write-protected! (read-only)

I tried setting several sets of restricted permissions, none of which
worked. Do you have an exact permission set you know works?
(And I thought Michal said he disabled under Windows, so can it even
be tested against the current CVS?)

i don't know if Michal already implemented this

Sebastian - You're correct, checking read only DOES fix the problem.
I was implementing the permissions in the NTFS ACLs
(Properties>Security). The NTFS ACL method did NOT seem to work
correctly. I'm not familiar with the PHP method for determining file
security, but apparently it's not accounting for the NTFS ACLs (either
that or I just really screwed up setting them to match...).
Michal - First of all, your fix works fine on Windows, I tested
today's CVS. Secondly, when I removed the Windows OS check you added
and set read-only as Sebastian suggested, it _did_ work properly. I
think if we re-add Windows to the check, the method for setting read
only needs to be documented for Windows....even though some may
consider it obvious, I'm so used to setting the NTFS ACLs for access
rights, I did not even consider setting read only on the entire file.

As the check won't work correctly for ACLs (I'm pretty sure that also
on Linux, but that's not an issue), I'd keep it disabled for Windows,
because there are no levels of unix privileges and all permissions
(user, group and others) are reported same by PHP...
