When the mambo deny with the message Direct access to this location is not allowed! , what's mean? Why it's happen?

I think that it´s means that the page or the content doesn´t exist. Look carefully to the link to see if it´s ok.

Most pages except the main page don't allow http access, this is for security to stop people downloading potentially sensitive information. I think.

ps I just signed up today... mambo looks superb, I will be using it soon. Just got to learn how to modify it first....

What are you doing when you see this message - ie what are you trying to access.

This message usually occurs when you try load a mambo php file directly.
For example if you try load www.domainname.com/index2.php
You will get this message.

This is an inbuilt security feature to stop people from accessing your mambo php files without actually loading mambo itself. The only php page you can directly is the index.php file in your root directory.

I had this same problem here.

I noticed that I uploaded the template's index.php over mambo basic index.php.
Just replace it.

Same here. Do what the guy above says, replace the home index.php. Thats if you have a backup. Luckily I did

Hi fellas, just joined and I was wondering...

What if I replaced the index with the original and still am getting the "Direct Access to this location is not allowed" bit?

I encountered the same problem and simply repalce the index.php on the root directory from the package you downloaded and that should works.

It seemed to be that index2.php is the file that we are actually editing in the site template screen. If index.php is somehow damaged, then you get this error.

is there anyway to override this security issue? I need to modify the index.php so i can work directly with an specific index.php, i now the file works, but i get this error message.
