Hi,

I purchased VB and currently installing it and it says:

'Startup Warnings
It is advisable to resolve the following issues prior to continuing with the install. To check that the issues have been resolved, hit "refresh". To continue without resolving the issues, hit "confirm":

• Checksum file md5_sums_vbulletin.php is currently writable. Please ensure that this file is not writable by the webserver.'

I don't want to just skip it. I want to ensure that the file is not writeable by the webserver. How do I do this?
