 I can't access directory after installing admintools pro :
You don't have permission to access /images/stories/...
When I put the joomla basic .htaccess, i have no problem !
What can I change in my .htaccess to avoid this problem ? Thanks a lot

My .htaccess is :

### ===========================================================================

### automatically generated by Admin Tools 2.5.6 on 2013-09-09 17:49:12 GMT

My guess is that the error message is a little bit misleading. You don't have permission to access a php file which is trying to access /images/stories... If you actually have a php file in /images/stories, some extension is being very naughty in where they place their program files.

You will need to do a little detective work to see what program is throwing the 403, then add that to .htaccess Maker as an exception. The instructions are here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/troubleshooter/athtaccessexceptions.html.
