I am trying to access my localhost version of the Joomla Administrator, however each time I navigate to the administrator directory, my Joomla website index page loads instead?
I suspect the htaccess file may be the issue but not 100%?
Any ideas?
Cheers
Ok seeing as you have some protection plugin which re-directs the user from the admin panel if they try and access the page, you won't be able to to either.
And seeing as you can't login to disable it, you will have to do it manually via PhpMyAdmin. Follow these instructions:
Enter PhpMyAdmin
Open the table called jos_extensions (jos is the prefix which may be different for you)
Find the protection extension you have installed which is causing the redirect and go to edit it.
You will find a column called enabled. You need to change the value from 1 to 0
You should then be able to login to the Joomla admin panel
Hope this helps

After migrating from an amazon instance to GoDaddy hosting, I am unable to login to Magento backend when using the same username and password,
Adding a new user with a new password gives the same error: access denied
web/unsecure/base_url are set correctly in the database table core_config_table
My cookies are setup as follows
web/cookie/cookie_lifetime 3600
web/cookie/cookie_path NULL
web/cookie/cookie_domain NULL
web/cookie/cookie_httponly 1

Please let me know any thoughts you may have as I have searched google many times and none of the guides help, and I am starting to feel like I am the only one with this specific issue.
Thanks in advance!
Found the Solution myself after many weeks,
Save this file as newadmin.php in your magento root, then uncomment and replace the credentials with the ones you want, then go to example.com/newadmin.php
Voila!!!
The reason is because administrator permissions were contravened, as far as I know this is the only way to add a working user.
Unfortunately one problem led to the next and I started getting index.php inserted into all of my links when I go into admin panel ex:
example.com/index.php/admin/********
I would be fine with this if it didn't send it to a 404 page, the correct page is:
example.com/admin/********
when I remove index.php from the url it works, but if I click on any link or try to save chages in admin panel, it reinserts the index.php in the url and doesn't POST anything to the page, because it gets sent to a 404 page
Click This Link if you want to follow my bug-fixing adventures:
try after delete var/* folder for remove cache
if not worked then change password from db admin_user table then try it.
Did you name your database and users exactly the same as before?
Some CPanels will automatically choose the first part of the MSQL database for you...
check app/etc/local.xml and see if it's all correct
I am attempting to update the admin panel url.
I edited app/etc/local.xml and changed the following line to the desired name:
<frontName><![CDATA[admin]]></frontName>
I then went to my Magento root and cleared the cache by running rm -rf var/cache/*
This exact process worked beautifully when I first tested on my remote staging server, it updated to the new URL immediately. However, there was absolutely no change when I attempted it on my live site. The admin panel still showed up when I visited www.mysite.com/admin.
I had a short window of time when the traffic to our website is low and nobody is actively using the admin panel, so I changed the name back to admin and cleared the cache again after my change did not take effect.
Any ideas what might have gone wrong?

I personally used step 3
another way is to change from the admin itself.Goto System→Config→Admin→Admin Base Url→Use Custom Admin Path, set yes. Set new admin path in Custom admin path text field and save.
My client has Joomla! ver 1.5.14 installed on the remote server. I logged in using the url /administrator/ with login 'admin'. When landed on the admin page after successful login, I observed that the top menu has only two elements, Site and Help. All other elements like Menus, Content, Components, Extensions etc are not there.
Also I do not find any way to access those elements (menus, components). There are not icons on the screen to access them.
Could someone please help me figure out this issue?
Thanks in advance

EDIT:
Following is the screenshot of the admin page

Thank you
It's very strange that this should happen unless your client has been fiddling with the core Joomla files or database tables.
Update the site to the latest version of the 1.5 series (1.5.26)
Download the full Joomla package, extract the administrator, components, includes, libraries, modules and plugins folder, zip them up and upload to the server, replacing the current folder. Not to worry, this will only override the core files which I assume haven't been edited.
Try downloading and installing another admin template.
Else the only other thing I can think of is reconstructing the website which might take a while, depending on the amount of work that went into it.
In Joomla! 1.5.x a common security step was to create an alternate "super user" and downgrade the default admin account to a standard registered. Due to issues in early versions of 1.5 though it wasn't recommended to delete or disable this account.
This sounds like what is going on with your admin account.
You can check this by looking at the database checking the table jos_users look for the username admin and see what it's usertype is set to. At the same time look for a user that has an usertype of Super Administrator (yes, really the words Super Administrator).
Once you have the username of the Super Administrator, you will need to find the password. If the client doesn't know it then you will have to recover the admin password.
This problem started with me needing to add a module to my frontpage so only guests will see it, after they login the module disappears. So I read this tutorial :
Basically says to do this..
Create a Guest Group in the User Manager
Add a new Guest Viewing Access Level
Change the default guest group in the User Manager options
And it works! But the problem now is when I login with my administrator account on admin panel, i get only 3 icons from Zoo component, no admin bar menu, nothing! And if try to login to the admin panel with a default user account I get the same thing! I´m now in the joomla database to try and see if I can delete the user group I created before and maybe it works?
I cannot lose the content of the website, it´s important! Please help. I´m the latest version of joomla.
Thanks very much
Backup your files and database and set your website in offline mode: edit your configuration.php file and set:
public $offline = '1';
After that, you can try your solution.
I want to change administrator path of mysite in joomla. ex. currently i have admin path http://myserver/mysite/administrator but now i want to change it
http://myserver/mysite/admin .
Check out the constants in /includes/defines.php and /administrator/includes/defines.php
Unfortunately Joomla doesn't have a clean way of changing this without changing core files and even then this will cause problems while applying update patches in the future.
What you should consider is installing jSecure, an an extension which will prevent people from hitting mysite.com/administrator page directly. You can access your admin panel by going to mysite.com/administrator?MySecretKey (set your own secret key) but people who try to access it directly will be redirected to the front page.
I hope this helps.
