A lot of chaos has happened over the last few weeks with non-secure Joomla! 3rd Party components. In result we have secured our site with ever possible way and this even includes utilizing the all famous .htaccess file. Below is our version of our .htaccess file to keep our site secure so we suggest you do the same. # Use Options Options +FollowSymLinks
# mod_rewrite in use RewriteEngine On
# Base location RewriteBase /
# Begin Rules for rewrite RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes## RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|pl|txt)$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php # End Rules for rewrite
# Add .htc files AddType text/x-component .htc
########## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits # # Block out any script trying to set a mosConfig value through the URL RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|\%3D) [OR] # Block out any script trying to base64_encode crap to send via URL RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*\(.*\) [OR] # Block out any script that includes a |

his is a very short but hopefully a useful security tip which could come in handy if you wish to protect your downloads which may include zip files, documents or images via your Joomla web site. First you need to download the remository component for Joomla which is basically a great component for storing, managing and downloading files within a secure environment. ( IE ) people need to log into your joomla web site and be part of a specific ACL group to get access to the downloads. Once you have downloaded and configured the remository component then its time to start uploading your content. This is where the useful tip comes in handy. In the past I would use .htaccess to protect a specific directory where my files are stored but then I found out the repository component can access files outside the normal home or public_html directory which is not directly accessible via a browser. So the tip is to create a directory at the root level outside of the home or public_html directory and upload your content to that directory. Then all you need to do is configure the download path via the Joomla remository component to point at the new directory. |

A common problem people experience is "Permission denied" error when trying to edit files in Joomla. This tutorial will explain the details of file permissions through an example of Joomla running on a UNIX. Before we start on Joomla, let's get the very basics of UNIX file permissions. Each file on UNIX has an owner and a set of permissions. The permissions specify what the owner, the users in the owner group, and everyone else can do to the file. The owner (and a superuser or root) can change the permissions. By default, the owner is the creator of the file. And the default permission is usually user read and writable and everyone else read only (644). It is important to understand these basic concepts. You can read more on Unix file permissions here. Now for Joomla, on a typical installation, you unzip the files first, then FTP them to your server, then you (or the username you used to login to FTP) are the owner of the files. The web server is usually running under user "apache" or "nobody", it can read the files, but cannot modify them. This is why the Joomla web installer asks you to change permissions of certain files to world writable (777 or 666). This is so that the installer can change certain files. After Joomla is running, you typically install templates, components, modules through the Joomla web administrator interface. Now, these files are created by the web server user. When you login to your server through FTP or SHELL, you often cannot modify these files. If you have shell and root access, you can login as root and change the file permissions. A better way is simply install MamboXplorer and use that to change the file permissions. This works because MamboXplorer is running through the web server. MamboXplorer has a nice editor in there so that you can edit files directly. But MamboXplorer will not be able change Joomla core files, which are owned by you (or your FTP user). So solve this, you can change the permission of files through FTP to be world writable.

Many SEO experts believe that incorporating targeted and relevant RSS content feeds from high ranking web sites within your web site as part of an overall SEO strategy can enhance your search engine ranking across the SERP’s including Google, Yahoo and MSN. It’s a known fact that if you keep your web site updated with fresh new content then Google will reward you but creating new content on a daily basis can be a challenging task and this is where RSS Feeds can help. The aim of this article is to provide you with an overview to RSS feeds for Joomla and the reasons why you should use them for your Joomla web site. Again with all articles I don’t claim to be an expert in RSS feeds and the subject is open to debate but Joomla is all about sharing knowledge and at Joomlaseo that is what we like to do. For the SEO experts this might be a little boring but if you are new to SEO or Joomla then the following might be useful to you. The first port of call is to give you a definition of an RSS Feed as taken from the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_Feed RSS is a family of XML file formats for web syndication used by news websites and weblogs. They are used to provide items containing short descriptions of web content together with a link to the full version of the content. This information is delivered as an XML file called RSS feed, webfeed, RSS stream, or RSS channel. |
