Hello,

on all of our Sites there are some resources that the googlebot can't access. It doesnt matter if admintools is deactivated (main-disable) or if the files are permitted with .htaccess.
With normal User Agent, there is no Problem, only with googlebot the access is not possible.

For example: https://www.[URL].de/images/slider/allgemein/aussenbereich-fewo-weinberg.jpg
I simulate the Googlebot agent with this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/clddifkhlkcojbojppdojfeeikdkgiae and it says:
"Locked
The requested resource is currently locked. The lock must be released or proper identification given before the method can be applied."
The status code in Network Tab is 423, too.

Do you know why this happens? I dont get it..

This HTTP status does not come from Admin Tools. In fact, it's an HTTP status which is only used by WebDAV, saying that the resource is locked for modification. WebDAV is a feature of the web server software (Apache) itself. You need to ask your host why an HTTP 423 is returned for images even though they shouldn't be accessed as WebDAV resources.
