    How to disable mod_security from .htaccess in Linux?

    ModSecurity is an open source embeddable web application firewall, or intrusion detection and prevention engine for web applications
    ModSecurity provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications and allows for HTTP traffic monitoring and real-time analysis with no changes to existing infrastructure, by operating as an Apache Web server module mod_security or standalone, and thus increase web application security.

    Hi,

    Just add the following code in your .htaccess:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>

      It is quite common that mod_security is interfering the functions of your web applications. mod_security is installed and enabled by your web server admin but you can still disable it for your individual website using .htaccess file by following this tutorial.

        Hi,

        If your domain hosted server is using Apache version 1 than you can only disable the mod security via .htaccess file but if your domain hosted server is using Apache version 2 than you can disable the mod security by using following code in servers main httpd.conf file under your domains virtual host entry.

        <IfModule mod_security2.c>
        SecRuleEngine Off
        </IfModule>

          mod_security is used to protect our website but it might cause some problems for certain web applications, especially in file uploads. My server has mod_security enabled and I encountered WordPress upload error: HTTP error

            odSecurity is an open source embeddable web application firewall, or intrusion detection and prevention engine for web applications
            ModSecurity provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications and allows for HTTP traffic monitoring and real-time analysis with no changes to existing infrastructure, by operating as an Apache Web server
            module mod_security or standalone, and thus increase web application security
            If you’re using Apache web server (which mostly do), mod_security can be disabled by adding a specific in .htaccess file. Locate the .htaccess file in Apache web
            root directory (public_html or /var/www/ or others), if it does not exist, create a new file named .htaccess, and add in the following code:

            SecFilterEngine Off
            SecFilterScanPOST Off

            The above entries in the .htaccess will disable the ModSecurity (mod_security) module for the domain.
            I would like to recommend every one, do not disable the mod security for whole hosting account under which you are facing the problem. You can ask your host to disable the offending mod security rule because mod security is one of the greatest security tool to secure the web content to be hacked/injected..

                  I generally first setup mod_security with EasyApache and the manually recompile and install mod_security over and replacing the Cpanel installation patched instead to disallow .htaccess overrides.

                    It is possible to do this, but most likely your host implemented mod_security for a reason. Be sure they approve of you disabling it for your own site.
                    That said, this should do it;
                    <IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </IfModule> I hope this helps

                      Create a .htaccess file in the root of your web directory. Then add the following:

                      <IfModule mod_security.c>

                      SecFilterEngine Off

                      SecFilterScanPOST Off

                      </IfModule>
