Talk:ModSecurity

I ran into a similar problem...mod_security2 on apache2 would just fail sometimes...I added this to /usr/local/apache/conf/modesec2/exclude.conf

 * 1) Fixes a problem for certain content of wiki pages.

ModSecurity is filtering legitimate content
I found that ModSecurity would would trip and block any page with the word "Casino" (and presumably other spammy words) from being edited, history, protected etc. Just thought that information may be useful. 194.75.14.28 19:12, 29 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I found the same. In my case, the wiki is supposed to contain code in a programming language. ModSecurity howev er thinks all if statements in page content are not allowed. Seems I still need to fix the config somehow... --2001:16B8:1021:9D00:40E7:7BDA:221C:32C0 23:47, 11 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I ran into this issue today as well. I had checked "Extra Web Security" in my host's web options, then my wiki started generating "Internal Server Errors" until it finally blacklisted my own IP address while I was trying to troubleshoot the issue. Unfortunately, my shared host doesn't allow ModSecurity modifications via .htaccess, so I just had to disable (more info: Topic:Vt9katmxvlvfy9eb) --Knomanii (talk) 14:44, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
