Joomla! version: 2.5.8
PHP version: 5.3.14
MySQL version: 5.1.36
Host: www.temporal-lobe.com
Admin Tools version: 2.5.8

Description of my issue:

The rules in .htaccess, which I generated with admin tools, break the functionality of a plugin called ajaz-zoom. I have now temporarily removed the .htaccess files, but this may be unsafe.

When the .htaccess file is in place, I get a 403 error for a php file. When this file is added to exceptions, I get a 500 error. Is there a way to add entire directories with a wildcard to the exceptions list? If so, how is it done?

What part of the .htaccess could be causing this error?

thanks for any help you can provide.

Niels

Thanks Nicholas

This is the Chrome output I got with .htaccess enabled. I added zoomload.php to the files list that can be accessed directly. I even added the entire axZM folder to the list of files that can be added directly. I attached my htaccess file (now zipped).

Any suggestions to change the settings and get this working are much appreciated.

Thanks,

Niels

Thanks! That enabled a view.

Is there perhaps a way to create an exception in the WAF for this? There is no similar component - have a look - I really like it.

If no exception for this can be made in the WAF or .htaccess file, what should I ask the developer of this component to change? Thanks, Niels
