Incorrect file permissions messages

[spuk]

Hi all,

So, I've just installed my first Abantecart via Softaculous / cPanel onto a Litespeed hosting account and so far have been very impressed.

However despite using the recommended chmod settings of 644, I'm getting the following messages:

system/config.php file needs to be set to read and execute modes to keep it secured from editing!

index.php file is writable. It is recommended to set read and execute modes for this file to keep it secured and running properly!

I also tried chmod 600 with the same results.

Am I missing something obvious here, or could this be down cPanel / Litespeed?
Are the warnings are false positives / can they be safely ignored?

Any advice would be much appreciated:+)

Hello.
It is depends on your hosting configuration. You can even try to set 444

Thanks for the help Basara. Setting to 444 seemed to do the trick
