Mod Security config for IPS site

[Gauravk]

Last week we shifted to new cpanel server and were unable to post or edit any topic.

Support helped us to identify that we need to switch off mod_security to post again.

Wondering to know what is the actual requirement of IPS than switching off mod_security completely.

Appreciate if someone knows the right config to add/edit in mod security so we can switch it on safely please?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure what you've provided a screenshot of, but here's the documentation for ModSecurity:

https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/wiki

I'd recommend reading up on what it does and how the various configurations impact your site. It will stop things that it "thinks" are bad and may not be bad.

That's a cpanel view of mod security options

You may need to ask cPanel for support (or your host) on how that translates to actual configuration. That is entirely too simplified a view. There are specific rulesets that you'll need to disable or enable.
