[SOLVED]Using Joomla 2.5.27, emulator problem Karma: 0  
When I activate the device emulator, I get this:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

=============

All selected devices do this, it all installed correctly.......any thoughts?

Thanks
Chris

Issue solved by email, for other users the problem was due to htaccess forbidding the 'template' query string parameter. This is also related to the use of Akeeba Admin Tools.

Hello AJ,

the problem of the blocked device emulator, is usually due to the Akeeba Admin Tools extension that in the WAF section disallow the template query string to work.

The other possible reason is the htaccess, if it has the following section the result will be same:

Code:

## Disallow visual fingerprinting of Joomla! sites (module position dump) ## Initial idea by Brian Teeman and Ken Crowder, see: ## http://www.slideshare.net/brianteeman/hidden-joomla-secrets ## Improved by @nikosdion to work more efficiently and handle template ## and tmpl query parameters RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)tmpl=(component|system) [NC] RewriteRule .* - [L] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)t(p|emplate|mpl)= [NC] RewriteRule .* - [F]
in this case the line
Code:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)t(p|emplate|mpl)= [NC]
blocks the template query string and thus the device emulator to work. John

Hi John, I was experiencing the same issue (in J1.5) and fixed it per this thread (disabled Akeeba Admin Tools). However I would still like to run Admin Tools. Can you please provide a compatible setting that will allow the evaluator to work and the template changer script to run? Thanks!

Hi Ross,

assuming that you have Admin Tools with the WAF controls, settings to allow dynamic templating as in the picture attached are required to make everything work normally.

Cheers,

John
