I would like to start using XCloner on my Joomla site so I can migrate to a newer version. 

I tried installing by uploading the zip file. Joomla said it was successful. When I click the component I get this error:

404 Error File Not Found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I uninstalled and reinstalled with the same results.

Has anyone else seen this? 

 

Thank you

Please check the administrator/components/ folder, is the xcloner plugin folder there?

Do you have security rules in your .htaccess file or server that might be blocking direct access to that folder? you will need to allow that in order for it to work.

This is very possible.  I'm guessing I should be looking in this section:

 

## Back-end protection
## This also blocks fingerprinting attacks browsing for XML and INI files
RewriteRule ^(administrator[/]?)$ administrator/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(administrator/index.htm[l]?)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(administrator/index.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(administrator/index[2,3].php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(administrator/(components|modules|templates|images|plugins)/.*.(jpe[g,2]?|jpg|png|gif|bmp|css|js|swf|htm[l]?))$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^administrator/(.*)$ – [R=404,L]

Try and simply upload a .htaccess file inside the xcloner plugin folder with this code

 

RewriteEngine Off
