After installing AdminTools, the Joomla backend is no longer usable. The .htacces file that is generated prevents the script from loading because the MIME type ("text/html") is blocked.

I am using Joomla 4.0.6 with AT 7.1.0

When I access the same URL on your site (I can see the full URL in the screenshot) I get the file with the correct MIME type (application/x-javascript; charset=utf-8).

But currently I have uninstalled the admin tools again and reset the .htaccess in the original version. Otherwise I can't use the backend. If you want to test it, I have to install it again.

Hi Nicholas, how do we proceed? Can you reproduce the problem with you, or do I have to give you access to the project so that you can check it with me?

I would definitely need access to an affected site of yours to reproduce the issue and understand what is going on.

Is it possible for you to create a clone of of your site in a subdomain on the same server using Akeeba Backup? If you can do that please do configure Admin Tools in the same way you had the original site when the error occurred. After doing that you can submit a new private ticket and give me the URL, Super User and SFTP/FTP connection details for the clone site. Please use the ticket title “Connection details for #36601 /cc @nicholas” so the ticket gets assigned to me.

The effort involved in cloning is far too great. I would install AdminTools in the LIVE project. I secured it with AB. I had to reset it before. So that would not be a problem. Can we do this?

Yup. File a new private ticket.

Since you said in the private ticket that reinstalling Admin Tools you can't reproduce the issue I will wait until you tell me if we should proceed :)
