Preventing access to those files should be taken care of by .htaccess files.

You should have .htaccess files under files/civicrm/ConfigAndLog, files/civicrm/upload, files/civicrm/custom with content:

<Files "*">
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
</Files>

What webserver are you using? Is this on a hosted environment or your own server? The server needs to be configured to use .htaccess files

For Apache, see https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#allowoverride

For nginx, see other posts on this site - eg:

  • Thanks Aidan! One last thing, all I need is to configure the nginx config to solved this problem, right? Also how about the CiviCRM debug log warning? Thanks Nov 8, 2018 at 13:17
  • Yes, should just need some nginx config changes. debug log is in the ConfigAndLog directory - ie same thing for each directory

You need to check the permissions on the hosting server for the directories in the warning. The directory permissions should be set to 0755, or it may show as 755. The files within the directories should show 0644, or 644.

  • Those file permissions still allow reads which is what the warning relates to.
