1
00:00:08.509 --> 00:00:13.509
Admintools from Akeeba installs 

like any Joomla extension.

2
00:00:14.696 --> 00:00:17.924
To begin go to the akeebackup.com website

3
00:00:17.924 --> 00:00:19.924
and click on the download link.

4
00:00:22.175 --> 00:00:24.175
If you have subscribed

5
00:00:24.175 --> 00:00:26.175
to the Professional version please make sure

6
00:00:26.175 --> 00:00:28.175
that you log in first.

7
00:00:29.902 --> 00:00:31.902
Now if you scroll down

8
00:00:31.902 --> 00:00:34.960
past the backup products to the
security products

9
00:00:35.314 --> 00:00:39.551
you will see the link to download
admintools to your computer.

10
00:00:40.966 --> 00:00:42.966
Once that is downloaded

11
00:00:42.966 --> 00:00:44.966
go to your Joomla website

12
00:00:46.162 --> 00:00:48.162
and then go to Extensions

13
00:00:48.162 --> 00:00:50.674
Manage, Install

14
00:00:53.368 --> 00:00:56.079
Here on the upload package file tab

15
00:00:57.339 --> 00:00:59.998
browse to the file that you just downloaded

16
00:01:01.852 --> 00:01:02.998
select open

17
00:01:03.116 --> 00:01:05.116
and admintools will be installed.

18
00:01:07.770 --> 00:01:10.088
Once admintools has been installed

19
00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:12.110
you will see two messages

20
00:01:12.372 --> 00:01:15.142
the first says that the package has been installed

21
00:01:15.460 --> 00:01:17.460
the second says

22
00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:19.460
that admintools is not yet

23
00:01:19.460 --> 00:01:21.460
protecting your site and you must

24
00:01:21.460 --> 00:01:23.460
run the quick setup wizard.

25
00:01:23.849 --> 00:01:25.849
To do that smply click on the link.

26
00:01:26.670 --> 00:01:30.073
The first part of the setup
is the administrator security

27
00:01:31.517 --> 00:01:33.517
The first two are different ways

28
00:01:33.517 --> 00:01:36.338
of setting protection to your administrator link.

29
00:01:37.973 --> 00:01:39.973
The first option is to add a parameter

30
00:01:39.973 --> 00:01:41.973
to the url and the second option

31
00:01:41.973 --> 00:01:43.973
is to add a username and password

32
00:01:43.973 --> 00:01:47.975
before you can access the Joomla login.

33
00:01:49.044 --> 00:01:51.044
If you want to know about these

34
00:01:51.044 --> 00:01:54.110
see the later video "Protecting your
Joomla website".

35
00:01:55.228 --> 00:01:57.574
I'm not going to use the secret url

36
00:01:58.352 --> 00:02:01.139
I'm going to use the username and 
password option.

37
00:02:01.585 --> 00:02:04.121
so I am going to type in my
name for the username

38
00:02:04.121 --> 00:02:05.888
and for the password

39
00:02:05.888 --> 00:02:07.888
I will use a complex password

40
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.533
one that I am not using for
the Joomla website.

41
00:02:14.194 --> 00:02:16.194
The next options decides if you

42
00:02:16.194 --> 00:02:18.194
want an email sent on

43
00:02:18.194 --> 00:02:20.194
every attempted login to your

44
00:02:20.194 --> 00:02:22.697
administrator. Its up to you

45
00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:25.580
You might want to experiment with this
for a while

46
00:02:25.580 --> 00:02:27.580
before deciding if you want to keep

47
00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:29.213
this feature on or not.

48
00:02:29.290 --> 00:02:31.290
I am going to enter my email
address anyway.

49
00:02:33.845 --> 00:02:35.845
I recommend setting the next 
three options

50
00:02:36.482 --> 00:02:38.482
exactly as they are, the defaults settings.

51
00:02:38.921 --> 00:02:40.921
you can always change them later when

52
00:02:40.921 --> 00:02:44.023
you understand in the Web Application Firewall.

53
00:02:46.226 --> 00:02:48.566
We now reach the basic security settings.

54
00:02:49.769 --> 00:02:51.769
Obviously we want to enable the

55
00:02:51.769 --> 00:02:53.769
Web Application Firewall

56
00:02:54.979 --> 00:02:56.979
IP workarounds is a complex

57
00:02:56.979 --> 00:02:58.979
technical thing. All you need to know

58
00:02:58.979 --> 00:03:00.979
is whatever the recommended setting

59
00:03:00.979 --> 00:03:02.979
for your site is - is what
you should set

60
00:03:05.010 --> 00:03:06.613
Now we want to decide

61
00:03:06.613 --> 00:03:08.613
do we want to block repeat offenders

62
00:03:08.613 --> 00:03:10.613
on your site and I would assume

63
00:03:10.613 --> 00:03:12.613
that would be a yes.

64
00:03:13.498 --> 00:03:15.498
and now the email address that you

65
00:03:15.498 --> 00:03:17.498
want to security exceptions to be sent to.

66
00:03:19.041 --> 00:03:21.041
Now we get to the Advanced
Securty settings.

67
00:03:23.603 --> 00:03:25.603
Project honeypot is an external

68
00:03:25.603 --> 00:03:27.603
service. You can find more information

69
00:03:27.603 --> 00:03:29.603
about it by clicking on this link.

70
00:03:30.176 --> 00:03:32.176
If you do decide to sign up for it

71
00:03:32.176 --> 00:03:34.176
you need to enter the key here.

72
00:03:35.945 --> 00:03:38.350
Now we come to the most important part.

73
00:03:39.247 --> 00:03:42.372
Creating a secure htaccess file.

74
00:03:43.143 --> 00:03:45.143
An htaccess file is a

75
00:03:45.143 --> 00:03:47.715
special file that runs on your web server

76
00:03:47.999 --> 00:03:49.999
that will help to protect

77
00:03:49.999 --> 00:03:51.999
your website.

78
00:03:51.999 --> 00:03:54.621
However in some circumstances

79
00:03:54.699 --> 00:03:57.337
it may block you out of your websites.

80
00:03:58.242 --> 00:04:00.743
So before you enable this

81
00:04:01.785 --> 00:04:03.785
and press save I strongly

82
00:04:03.785 --> 00:04:05.785
recommend that you open

83
00:04:05.785 --> 00:04:07.785
up these links

84
00:04:07.785 --> 00:04:09.785
in a new browser so that

85
00:04:09.785 --> 00:04:11.785
you have all the information to hand

86
00:04:11.785 --> 00:04:13.785
should anything go wrong.

87
00:04:14.514 --> 00:04:16.514
Because I have set the password

88
00:04:16.514 --> 00:04:18.514
protect admminstrator option

89
00:04:18.514 --> 00:04:21.197
as soon as I save this configuration

90
00:04:21.661 --> 00:04:23.661
a login box will popup

91
00:04:23.661 --> 00:04:25.661
that I need to complete before

92
00:04:25.661 --> 00:04:27.434
I can get back in.

93
00:04:27.548 --> 00:04:29.548
So just make sure that you have

94
00:04:29.548 --> 00:04:31.548
a copy of that password.

95
00:04:31.548 --> 00:04:33.548
As you can see the popup has appeared

96
00:04:33.548 --> 00:04:35.548
so I enter my username and

97
00:04:35.548 --> 00:04:38.484
password and click login.

98
00:04:40.586 --> 00:04:42.586
As you can see admintools

99
00:04:42.586 --> 00:04:44.586
has now been installed.

100
00:04:44.933 --> 00:04:46.933
If you are using the professional version

101
00:04:46.933 --> 00:04:48.933
you will see this box asking you for

102
00:04:48.933 --> 00:04:50.535
your Download ID.

103
00:04:50.551 --> 00:04:52.551
This is required in order for you

104
00:04:52.551 --> 00:04:54.551
to receieve updates to the program.

105
00:04:55.358 --> 00:04:57.358
Return to the akeeba website

106
00:04:58.540 --> 00:05:00.540
make sure you are logged in

107
00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:02.880
and go to My Subscriptions.

108
00:05:04.904 --> 00:05:06.904
If you scroll down you wll

109
00:05:06.904 --> 00:05:08.904
find your download id.

110
00:05:08.904 --> 00:05:10.904
simply select it

111
00:05:10.904 --> 00:05:12.904
and copy it

112
00:05:12.904 --> 00:05:14.904
return to your website

113
00:05:14.904 --> 00:05:16.904
and paste it in

114
00:05:16.904 --> 00:05:20.267
and click apply download id.

115
00:05:21.070 --> 00:05:23.070
We now have a message about

116
00:05:23.070 --> 00:05:25.070
the missing GeoIP plugin.

117
00:05:25.764 --> 00:05:27.764
This is an optional addon you can

118
00:05:27.764 --> 00:05:29.764
install that provides

119
00:05:29.764 --> 00:05:31.764
some additional iinformation on the 

120
00:05:31.764 --> 00:05:34.258
geographic location of a users IP address.

121
00:05:35.257 --> 00:05:37.257
It's not necessary but if you want

122
00:05:37.257 --> 00:05:39.257
to you can follow this link

123
00:05:39.257 --> 00:05:41.257
to download it and install it

124
00:05:41.257 --> 00:05:43.257
as you would do any other plugin.

125
00:05:43.901 --> 00:05:45.901
You have now successfully installed 

126
00:05:45.901 --> 00:05:47.901
Admintools and I recommend that you

127
00:05:47.901 --> 00:05:49.901

00:05:49.901 --> 00:05:51.901
