OSCommerce question

[gusgallows]

I need to set file permissions on the configure.php but I do not see any way of doing that using the control panel. Please advise. The error I am getting is:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /hosted/domains/a/u/authors-pad.biz/public_html/Shop/oscommerce-2.2rc2a/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

I am also getting the following errors:

Warning: session_save_path() [function.session-save-path]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1001 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid 0 in /hosted/domains/a/u/authors-pad.biz/public_html/Shop/oscommerce-2.2rc2a/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 169

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /hosted/domains/a/u/authors-pad.biz/public_html/Shop/oscommerce-2.2rc2a/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php:169) in /hosted/domains/a/u/authors-pad.biz/public_html/Shop/oscommerce-2.2rc2a/catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 102

Anyone know what these errors mean and what I need to do to correct them?

On a side note, I see that I am supposed to ignore CHMOD errors, but how do I clear them so they do not pop-up on my store all the time?

You cannot CHMOD files, you will need to modify the script so it does not show the error. If you do not know what you are doing i suggest contacting the maker of the script to find out how.
