    Just installed Evo 1.04 and when I click on the configuration tab I get:

    One or more configuration details didn't check out OK:
Configuration warning: 'Config file still writable'


    I looked in the manager/includes and see a config.inc.php.blank file which is strange. There is no config.inc.php file at all.

    Any ideas whats causing this problem? I’m running on WinXP/Apache 2.2/Mysql 5

      Without a manager/includes/config.inc.php file your site won’t run at all.

        Yes, if that file isnt there, site wont run.

        To make that warning go away, make the config.inc.php "Read-only".

          just delete the word blank and give proper permissions and try again. Make sure to reset permissions back to recommended ones after successful install.

            Might want to look at it and make sure it’s actually been written to.
