... and then make it writable, of-course.
This has been a "bug" in Joomla for a while, not sure why they don't fix
it. I guess a large proportion of the people who install it do so on
Windows which has very little care for permissions, so the whole
directory would be writeable anyway. I expect that making the whole
directory writeable in Linux would have been another way to solve this
(which I would advise against).
For the sake of anyone who needs chapter+verse, the commands (from the
Joomla document root directory) are:
touch configuration.php
chmod g+w configuration.php
.. assuming it's group write permissions needed, which it usually is IME.
