Bug: mod security issue, cannot resolve in cloudflare.

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 06:45:46 +0000

I am experiencing a mod_security issue which causes the Layout page in the Admin area to give a "page not found" it does not update changes. I am guessing this might be occurring because of some code I have for google tag manager and some other things in the head tag. which was able to be resolved on a non-cloudflare site by whitelisting mod_security rules. On cloudflare my cloudflare enabled site I have not been able to resolve the issue. I have only the free version of cloudflare and have attempted to reduce the WAF all the way down to the "essentially off" setting and this has not resolved the issue.

mod_security and Question 2 Answer

Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:18:15 +0000

Yesterday I came with a problem. I was not able to post some code and I was getting an error.

"Unexpected response from server - please try again or switch off Javascript.”

After digging and digging into the problem and mod_security rules I tweaked them to let my site accept that. Of course leaving my site open to attacks, have daily backups and restore everything in case I got hacked, its not a good solution.

I see its a very common complaint here and its something that really needs to be fixed.

Anyone that knows about this and can share something deeper ?

Thanks.
