openx problem
Posted by Chinese Democracy, 04-22-2009, 12:38 AM I have a domain that uses openx ad system, but stopped working after I applied these below mod security rules I'm running Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.9 with suPHP enabled and mod_security with these rules: http://www.uhgbug.com/index.php/2009...calapache.html Can someone explain what part of the rules would cause the openx script to stop working? This is the script http://www.openx.org/en/products

Posted by Chinese Democracy, 04-22-2009, 01:08 AM Ok, I don't know which mod sec logs you're referring to, but I did a grep on the domain inside /usr/local/apache/logs and got this in the error_log How would I go about correcting this now? This is the line inside /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec2.user.conf Should I just delete that single line and restart apache?
Posted by squirrelhost, 04-22-2009, 01:16 AM modsec2.user.conf: line "152" it says to me. if you're sure that's the line which blocked your openx stuff, remove it, restart apache. servers get hit with all sorts of rubbish requests all the time, so make sure you're identified the source of your problem.

I prefer to just disable rules in the specific cases where they trigger a false positive, using something like this in the site's vhost container:
