Hi Support,
I just migrated a site live and it works fine... but when I try to login to the backend i'm Locked out
Secret url - still coming up even after changing main.php to main-disable.php.
I have also tried using the default .htaccess, and the admintools .htaccess files.
Wha can I do to fix this... I can removed anything... and reinstall once I can get in.
Thanks in advance
Syco
Hello,
in order to remove the secret param you have to edit WAF Configuration, more info here: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools/web-application-firewall.html#waf-configure-basic-protection

Thanks for the quick reply... This is NOT an IP block.... it;s not recognising the username and password for the secret URL
I can you can only change what you have suggested... ONCE you are logged in. So I can NOT change the WAF config... because I can not LOG IN.
When I put in the SECRET URL - username and password... it then doesn't come up with the - Joomla Backend log in page.
So I need to fully removed ADMINTOOLS via FTP... as I have also tried using both the default .htaccess, and the admintools .htaccess files.... and changing the - main.php to main-disable.php... but unfortunately the SECRET URL window keeps popping up.
Ok, that's a different thing, then. What you're referring is the extra username and password to access your backend (feature "Password-protect Administrator").
This is pretty easy to disable, you simply have to delete a couple of files using FTP, more info here, last paragraph: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools/admin-pw-protection.html
