friendly urls enabled and protected admin folder results to no access to backoffice (with solution)

[manu1987]

Hello everybody,

 

I searched for this for hours and wanted to share it with the community in case someone else has this problem and finds this thread

 

When you enable friendly url's and password protect your admin folder using htaccess then the admin folder cannot be accessed anymore (at least in my case).

 

Solution: You have to add two lines of code in your htaccess file before the code block with password protection. Add this: 

ErrorDocument 401 "Unauthorized Access"
RewriteEngine off

Hope this avoids others from hours of searching...
