I know this question has been posted a few times already, however I feel that the answers do not quite relate to my problem.
I am trying to admin an existing Joomla webpage, however it seems that the previous admin did something that forbids me from accessing the /administrator section on the page. When I try to enter the admin section using sitename.com/administrator
or sitename.com/administrator/index.php
, I get 403 Forbidden
.
I checked the site contents through FTP (which I can access fine) and it seems jSecure
plugin is not installed - therefore the admin page should be accessible through /administrator
, right? The file permissions for the /administrator
folder were 705, I tried changing them to 775, no change. Any suggestions what to do?
