Mistake with HOWTO for Joomla+SEF

Alex

Hello Hugo,

I have discovered a small mistake with your HOWTO [www.hiawatha-webserver.org], it is about SEF for Joomla, please change this.

This must look so:

UrlToolkit {
ToolkitID = joomla
Match ^/(administrator)/ Exit
Match mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|\%3D) DenyAccess
Match base64_encode.*\(.*\) DenyAccess
Match (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) DenyAccess
Match GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) DenyAccess
Match _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) DenyAccess
RequestURI exists Return
Match .* Rewrite /index.php
}

Pay attention please to "Match ^/(administrator)/ Exit", otherwise do not function Backend of Joomla properly

Greeting Alex.

oops..
unfortunately, I must find out that my solution also does not function, sorry

How should I exclude the administrator folder from SEF?

Greeting Alex.

I have no problem what so ever with accessing the administrator part of a Joomla website with that rule. What problems do you get?

Hi Hugo,

many thanks for your quick answer.
I must say that there is already a pair of problems with rewrite engine.

1. The Links ods not work, for example "Save of configuration" Firebug report Error:
[table] [tr] [td]submitbutton is not defined
http://www.mysite.de/administrator/index.php?option=com_config
Line 1[/td] [/tr] [/table]

2. The Frontend also does not function properly, Firebug tell me:
[table] [tr] [td]writeDynaList is not defined
http://www.mysite.de/de/component/virtuemart/?page=shop.registration
Line 1237[/td] [/tr] [/table]

I hope this are no bad mistakes

Greeting Alex.

function onclick(event) { javascript: submitbutton("apply"); }(click clientX=1090, clientY=140)

Remove the line "Match (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) DenyAccess" from the rewrite rule and try again, please.

hey..
thank yu Hugo

however, is it not dangerous to comment out the line?

Hugo Leisink

That depends on how secure Joomla's code is

I will try to find out why that line is causing trouble. Stay tuned.

Try changing "Match (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) DenyAccess" into "Match (<|%3C).*script.*(>|%3E) DenyAccess". Thus without the backslashes.

Yes, its work

thank you Hugo, but what was, actually, the problem with the backslashes?

Don't know. I'm not a regexp guru.
