Magento

Hello,

After installing magento ver 1.4.2.0 i get the following warning in the admin panel:

Your web server is configured incorrectly. As a result, configuration files with sensitive information are accessible from the outside. Please contact your hosting provider.

My server is lighttpd and i have the latest version of php / mysql.

My url is: dcarcitecture.com

got the same problem over here, please let me know if you find out why.

allready checked the file/dir permissions and they should be ok… think it must be something other…

thanks for help

have the same issue,

Same here, need som answers about it. Any Magento staff checking the forum for these kind of problems?

Try to deactivate mod rewrites.

But it is hard to say what is wrong without direct access to the files.

I’m having the same issue, and I need mod-rewrites to work for SE friendly URLs. So that really isn’t a solution for me.

I have got the same warning. But can find the problem. Maybe a chmod problem?

I have tried to disable rewrite. didn’t help.

Getting same message.

Earlier was getting error:
“client denied by server configuration: app/etc/local.xml”

Hence added the line
Allow from 192.168.50.5 127.0.0.1 localhost
in /app/.htaccess

That error is gone but now getting the message “Your web server is configured incorrectly. As a result, configuration files with sensitive information are accessible from the outside. Please contact your hosting provider.”

Same problem here!!

I had exactly the same problem with a new and clean install.

After playing arround to get rid of this problem i decided to reinstall and did it via SSH. I did the full install as per official guide. Everything is running smoothly now.

Try this way in case you have access via SSH.

Hi there.

I had the same problem. In my specific case, the reason was that Apache was configured to ignore directives specified in .htaccess files.

To solve the problem, you need to change Apache’s configuration accordingly---i.e., by setting to “All” the value of the “AllowOverride” directive applying to the directory where Magento has been installed.

I got the same problem after changing the URL in the core_config_data.
It´s the latest Version.

Your web server is configured incorrectly. As a result, configuration files with sensitive information are accessible from the outside. Please contact your hosting provider.

I’ve got the same message with clean install over ssh,
Fix: Edit apache configuration file ,change line
“AllowOverride None”
to
“AllowOverride All”

Same error. The ‘AllowOverride’ suggestion did not solve the problem though. Anyone?

http://127.0.0.1/magento1420/app/etc/local.xml

that is the actually problem.

Oops! I did the same thing. How does one configure the server so that local.xml is not visible from the outside? Is it a matter of file permissions?
