Holdfire clients using Mint, disable mod_security

« | »

We have currently changed around some of our mod_security settings on all of our servers and as a result have noticed a growing issue with Mint.

We receive the error "ModSecurity: Access denied with code 406 (phase 2). Invalid UTF-8 encoding: invalid byte value in character at ARGS:resource_title" from all instances of Mint on all of our servers. We looked into it and according to several posts on Mint's troubleshooting forum, Shaun has recommended the user include an .htaccess file in the mint directory with the following which will disable mod_security for that directory only.

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
SecFilterCheckURLEncoding Off
SecRuleRemoveById 950801
</IfModule>
