Server 500 errors when attempting to add/edit large content

[curlypinky]

So I have been being plagued with intermittent Server 500 errors when attempting to add a page with lots of content. After contacting my server admin for help it was determined mod_security was the culprit. The admin explained the fix as:

added a rule to allow a certain mod_security id for that domain

Something magical
In the case of those who can control via .htaccess you can try

Code: Select all

# Should mod_security inspect POST payloads
SecFilterScanPOST Off

Just thought I should add this information in case others run into this problem.
