Hi all, the solutions given here is awesome, It solved my problem completely, it was the version issue in fact. I had the same problem and I logged into the admin panel in the backend went to the plugin manager in the extensions tab and enabled the legacy mode, which was disabled by default, thanks a lot the help

I faced the similar problem as both the site as well as back end administrative page were showing ‘Direct Access to this location is not allowed’.
I entered the server through ‘ftp’ and deleted the latest entries of plugin and components. and It worked. My system is restored.

An example of jamrock's situation in case of jomcomment you can check out How to uninstall Jom Comment Manually if it breaks your site.

as jamrock stated, turning on legacy mode offers no solution to some of us. the problem, for me, is installing a component with legacy mode enabled and still getting the error. so im at a loss.

for jamrock, i would recommend going into your server via ftp and deleting all instances of the plugin. you might also need to enter the database and doing the same. that gave me access back to my website but i still have no solution to the problem im having.

I found I had the same problem after installing a component (wysiwyg Pro). Turning on legacy Plugin worked for me too

I enabled Legacy mode and my two of my websites and still got that error message. I can not log in to change anything front nor backend, so my website is basically lost. There seems to be no solution for this as people keep saying it might be a template, and I only used the default template that comes with joomla 1.5. I wish someone would find a solution for the problem.
