CMS Made Simple Forums

I just installed cms made simple 1.1.

When I tried to make a new template I get this error.

Bad Request

Apache/2.0.59 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.59 OpenSSL/0.9.8e Server at www.ocf.berkeley.edu Port 80

I also get a similar error when I try to preview a page under content/page/edit page:

Hello,

what do webserver logs say ?
what does debug mode say ? (please set debug to on in config.php)

Which "lights" weren't green during the install procedure ?
What is your web browser ?

1. This is some of the errors in the server log.

2. I turned on debug mode and it doesn't say anything different. unless I don't know where to look.

3. When I installed there were 2 yellow light.
a. Checking PHP memory limit (min 8M, recommend 16M) I have 8
Could not retrieve a value.... passing anyways.
Displaying the value originally set in the config file (this may not be accurate).
You may not have enough memory to run CMSMS correctly, or with all of your desired addons. If
possible, you should try to get your system admin to raise this value. Proceed with caution.

This is what the system admin said: PHP memory limit is not configurable in our build of PHP 4.  On the other hand, our PHP 5 is
currently configured with a memory limit of 128 MB, and you can raise this if needed in your own php.ini file; to use PHP 5, name your scripts with a .php5 extension

b. Checking max upload file size (min 2M, recommend 10M)
You will probably not be able to upload (larger) files using the included file management functions.
Please be aware of this restriction.

4. My web browser is firefox and safari

I appreciate any help you can offer
thank you.

ModSecurity says it all.  I think you'll have to work with your web host to see about relaxing some of his mod_security rules.

Yup. it was mod_security rules. it works fine now.

thanks
