snippets and mod_security

Okay, the .htaccess thing worked for me, but I have a feeling that the webhosts are going to be frowning on us overriding what they put in place to make the server safe, so this is at best a stopgap solution.

I have faith you good folks are working on a more elegant solution to this problem. (Pretty please???)

I don’t know if they would frown, personnally I got this tip back when I was at TextDrive (see http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=6894), e.g from the host himself...

Just thought I’d add this for anyone else looking who’s having issues on Dreamhost.

SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI ^/manager/index\.php$ MODSEC_ENABLE=Off in my .htaccess seems to have done the trick. I got that from their wiki:http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Mod_security

$lifesaver = you;

Thanks, that was driving me crazy and the other directive wasn’t helping...
