How I can disable the mod_security or OSSEC rule? 

Environment

• Imunify360

Solution

This may be necessary if you need to test your code or disable a specific rule. So, if you have an issue with regular CMS installation and script, it can be a false-positive incident. You can report to our support team.

You can stop the mod_security rule per domain, OSSEC for all domains. Please use this guide to disable the mod_sec rule using UI, or use CLI.

Also, mod_security can be disabled with this .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
  SecFilterEngine Off
  SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
