Hi,
I installed Mod_security on Ubuntu 12.04 x32 following this tutorial: http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-install-apache2-modsecurity-and-modevasive-ubuntu-1204-lts-server
and now I receive 403 Forbidden error on every page/folder on my website: You don’t have permission to access / on this server You don’t have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server
I created /etc/modsecurity/modsecurity_custom_rules.conf and I could probably add custom rule for every specific case i.e. <Directory “/var/www/somefolder”> <IfModule security2_module> SecRuleEngine Off </IfModule> </Directory>
but is there a simpler way to add more general rules?
Also is it normal after installing Mod_security to get blocked completely or I did something wrong during the installation?
Thanks in advance
