Title: mod_security
Post by: silentfreak on August 25, 2006, 05:17:04 PM: I am experiencing problems because of this. Problems include weird "403" or access denied errors, login problems, and similar. My host has blocked and filtered certain keywords. When I e-mailed them they said it was their mod_security that was filtering certain requests. Is there anyway around this without changing hosts?

Code: [Select]
<IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterCheckURLEncoding Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </IfModule>

That worked perfectly. Thank you.

Now I have another dilema. I need to make my attachments folder chmod 777. Isn't that a security risk?

Maybe, maybe not. If you're on a shared system, a user may be able to navigate into that directory, but your host probably set the permissions so only you can access your home directory.

Not that I know of. I've never had problems with it. I'm never been asked to re-login.
