Title: Hard time to post in forum
Post by: PamS on September 20, 2012, 07:32:58 PM
I keep getting this

The page you are trying to access is restricted due to a security rule.

If you believe the security rule is affecting the normal operation of your website,
you can disable it by adding the following lines to your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
# Turn the filtering engine On or Off
SecFilterEngine Off
</IfModule>

does anyone know what to do?

Open up the file .htaccess which should be in the root directory of your site and put

<IfModule mod_security.c>
# Turn the filtering engine On or Off
SecFilterEngine Off
</IfModule>


that text in there. If it does not help, (sometimes it does not stop it) then inquire from your host if there is something specific they added causing the problem.

Or, just ask your host to disable "mod_security". :)
