Description of my issue:
First, thanks for the fantastic job on Akeeba and Admintools
Can't work without them both.
My problem: I'm now using .htaccess maker on all my sites for security reasons.
The problem is that if I do, then when I use Pixlr to transform images, I have the following error appearing:
'
403 FORBIDDEN
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /administrator/index.php on this server.
'
To use this great picture editor, I usually install the Media Manager 'Asikart Remote Image'. Then, when browsing images, I can just right-click on any image and select 'Edit with Pixlr'. The image is then loaded by Pixlr services. I can do the changes. But if I try to save them, I have the error above mentioned...
I of course tried to generate new .htaccess files with different exceptions on the /administrator/index.php or even on the directory itself. I also tried to disable the Backend protection and other things in the Admintool .htaccess maker.
But I never managed to generate an .htaccess file that does the trick.
If I roll back to the original .htaccess created by Joomla, everything works, so it is necessarily in the optimized .htaccess by Admintools that something is going on...
Could you help me on this?
I would like to avoid rolling back definitively on the original .htaccess as it doesn't sound very secured....
Many thanks in advance,
Dominique
