mod_security Fix (WordPress or phpBB3)

[Albert.Nawaro]

It has come to my attention that many people have had problems with mod_security on the AVANETCO servers. The main problem is that people are being redirected back to their homepages when clicking save or submitting forms etc. To overcome this the following code will need to be placed on your .htaccess file which will need to be located at the root of your website hosting.

Code:

PHP Code:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
 
    SecFilterEngine Off
 
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
 
</IfModule> 


You should disable mod_security with the above code only, if you don't see any other alternative. Disabling mod_security will leave your CMS or blog open for hacking attempts.
