    I am having this trouble with 095 and 096RC3 when Installing the Modx CMS.

    Everything goes fine on the intial install. It then tells me to delete the INSTALL folder and contents on my server. I then click the close button and the Manager Login Screen comes up. All is fine, I login. I am told to make any necessary changes to the System Configuration and click the SAVE button, this is where the problem comes up:

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
    Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
    
    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
    
    
    
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Apache/1.3.34 Server at cobnet.com Port 80
    


    On my server’s error log file I find:
    [Thu May 17 12:17:51 2007] [error] [client 69.180.248.232] mod_security: Access denied with code 500. Pattern match "[^-a-zA-Z0-9._]tar[^-a-zA-Z0-9._=/&\\\\+]" at POST_PAYLOAD [severity "EMERGENCY"] [hostname "cobnet.com"] [uri "/modx/096/manager/index.php?a=30"] [unique_id "RkyqX0KYph8AAOoLTns"]
    


    I can leave all the config settings as they are and modify thru my database backend and the site works just fine, however I am unable to make changes to the System Configurations thru the Manager?

    Any help greatly appreciated,
    Mark
