Hi,
On a clean new Joomla installation we can't restrore our site(s).
See here my reproduction path:
First I used the Reset Htaccess Maker Option Button and saved a new .htaccess file.
Then I created a back-up
Then I click on the Restore button in the toolbar and after a few screens
we finally see the screen with "Run the restoration script" (see screenshot 46)
When we click on that button we see the 403 error Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource.
When we checked the .htaccess, we see this code.
##### Advanced server protection rules exceptions -- BEGIN
RewriteRule ^administrator\/components\/com_akeeba\/restore\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^administrator\/components\/com_joomlaupdate\/restore\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !(\.php)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^\.well\-known/ - [L]
RewriteRule ^templates\/your_template_name_here/ - [L]
##### Advanced server protection rules exceptions -- END
Only after adding this line to the code, my issue was solved.
RewriteRule ^installation/ - [L]
My Question is:
Why doesn't work it well for me by default?
I have this problem on multiple websites. Not one has gone well in recent months without this adjustment in the .htacces file.
I know I can add this installation directory to the "Allow direct access, including .php files, to these directories"
But I've never had to do that before.
Hope you can help me with this issue.
Kind regards,
Lumiga
