How can I disable mod_security on my account?

[brainpulse]

Mod_security provides intrusion detection and prevention for web applications. It aims at shielding web applications from known and unknown attacks, such as SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting, path traversal attacks, etc.

A quick way to resolve this is to put the following in a .htaccess file in your public or public_html directory:

SecFilterEngine Off

This will disable mod_security for your domain.
