Joomla! version: (unknown)2.5.11
PHP version: (unknown)5.4
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)1und1
Admin Tools version: (unknown)pro 2.5.5
Description of my issue:
After create the htaccess with admin tools the pictures on my homepage (startpage) don't load. (Error 403)
also an attached slide show (phoca) direkt in a post don'work. Phocagallery itself still works, also some pictures on other sites.
When I comment out "rewrite engine on" all sites works fine. Now try it with "rewrite engine on" and add the directory "images" to the exceptions under "allow direct access to thes directories". Now it works.
My question is:
Which option is better (and safer)
The exception with the directory "images" and "rewrite engine on"
or
rewrite engine off and no exception for the directory images. Both is working.
Best regards
Matthias
