1. In the component "AdminTools" there is the "Emergency Off-Line". I do not quite understand its meaning. According to the explanatory notes "AdminTools" - if I enable this option ("Set Offline"), then no one can visit my website, except for user setting at it through my "IP". I do not understand: no One can only visit the admin panel of my site (Joomla back end)? Or nobody will be able to visit my site – no admin panel of my site neither the front side of my website (frontend)?

2. When you press the "Set Offline" file is created ".htaccess" in automatic mode? But if in the root folder of my site already has a file ".htaccess". It will prevent the creation of a new file ".htaccess" option to "Set Offline"?

3. I don't quite understand the phrase "In this case automated tools fails to create the .htaccess file on your site''s root, please remove your current .htaccess (if any) and create a new .htaccess file with the following contents:". Can you explain it?

1. В компоненте «AdminTools” существует опция: “Emergency Off-Line». Мне не совсем понятен её смысл. Согласно пояснениям “AdminTools” - если я включу это опцию («Set Offline»), то никто не сможет посещать мой сайт, кроме пользователей заходящих на него через мой “IP”. Я не пойму: Никто не сможет посещать только административную панель моего сайта (back end Joomla)? Или никто вообще не сможет посещать мой сайт – ни административную панель моего сайта ни лицевую сторону моего сайта (frontend)?

2. При нажатии клавиши «Set Offline» создается файл «.htaccess» в автоматическом режиме? А если в корневой папке моего сайта уже есть файл «.htaccess». Он будет мешать созданию нового файла «.htaccess» опцией «Set Offline»?

3. Мне не совсем понятна фраза «In case this automated tools fails to create the .htaccess file on your site's root, please remove your current .htaccess (if any) and create a new .htaccess file with the following contents:». Можете пояснить её?

  1. Emergency Offline mode blocks all web access to your site except for your IP address. This includes both front end and back end.
  2. Your current .htaccess file s renamed to .htaccess.eom and the new file is created.
  3. Admin Tools would need permission to rename your current .htaccess file and create a new one. In case it does not have the required permissions, it would fail. You could rename your current .htaccess file and create the new .htaccess file manually using your FTP client.

What rights should be granted .htaccess file, that component would be «AdminTools» could rename the old .htaccess file and create a new .htaccess file? Generally, you need to foresee, that would be when you click on the button «Set Offline» component "AdminTools" was able to fulfill all the necessary operations as expected (no misfire). In other words, you need to do that would be a component «AdminTools» all happened when you press the button «Set Offline»?

Какие права должны быть предоставлены файлу .htaccess, что бы компонент «AdminTools» смог бы переименовать старый файл .htaccess и создать новый файл .htaccess? Вообще, что нужно заранее предусмотреть, что бы при нажатии на клавишу «Set Offline» компонент “AdminTools” смог выполнить все необходимые операции как положено (без осечки). Иными словами, что нужно сделать, что бы у компонента «AdminTools» все получилось при нажатии на кнопку «Set Offline»?

If you set the .htaccess file permissions to 644, that should do it.

If you want to test it, just make a copy of your .htaccess file first. If there is any sort of problem, you will be able to easily restore your current file.

How can you disable the alarm mode (“Emergency Off-Line”) and again start to work normally?

А как можно отключить аварийный режим (“Emergency Off-Line”) и сново начать нормально работать?

dlb
You can use the Emergency Offline mode in Admin Tools again, you will find there is an "undo" option there now.
