Request them to disable mod_security module or configure it properlyWhile I wait for Godaddy support, I have a question.
How come mod_sec is not an issue when I enter a gallery and then click on "Upload photos"?
If I do it like that, photos CAN be uploaded. But if I click on "Upload photos" from Photos page (mysite.com/photo/viewlist/latest), I get white line, like it's loading but doesn't load.
Also, for anyone's info, putting:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
in .htaccess file disables mod_sec ONLY if your server runs Apache v1

After like dozen of e-mails to Goddady's support, they wrote:
We disabled the mod_security rule being triggered on mysite.com, so the issue should no longer occur. If you have any further issues, please let us know if we can help you in any other way.
Then I:
used Cache Extreme to clear cache,
cleared my browsers cache,
went to Photos,
turned on "Inspect element" in Crome,
clicked "Upload photos"
and still got white bar and the error message:
POST htt p://ww w.mysite.com/base/ajax-loader/component/?cmpClass=PHOTO_CMP_AjaxUpload&r=0.02785105397924781
How to be sure that they actually disabled mod_sec?
go to the ow_includes/config.php file
open it and right after <?php put phpinfo();
save the changes and go to your website, you should see the table of server settings
ctrl +F and see if there's a security module enabled on the server.
It is the link that already been discussed.
https:///....php?postNum=2234263
I did that and there is no mention of mod_sec (or any other Apache module) in phpinfo

I have some 10 web sites + clients e-mail on Godaddy + I my hosting does not expire for another 10 months
So I REALLY would not want to be forced to change hosting provider because of this
If you still have the problem with the photo upload as far as I remember with video adding as well, therefore the module is not disabled.
I was skeptical to say the least but FINALLY, Godaddy has fulfilled my request!!!
After all the nagging to @ross, crunching through this and other forums, constantly writing to Godaddy's support, trying to disable mod_sec by myself (and failing) only to figure out that my server runs on Apache 2 (and consequently having mod_sec2 and not mod_sec1 which can be easily disabled through .htaccess file)...I really don't know how I feel...
Should be a victory, but I'm just too damn exhausted
So, to conclude, I have a big THANK YOU to @ross and @Kelvin and all the others who tried to help me and put me on the right path (Godaddy's support staff excluded).
To anyone else who has Godady's hosting I have two things to say:
- be persistent (if you are a hardheaded jackass like me) or
- go find yourself a new hosting company because it would so much less time and effort consuming to migrate everything to a new hosting than to go through what I have gone through
@ross
Thank you for putting up with me.
Now I've tried to embed some video from YT, but I get the same error as I described here:
http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/12080?page=4#post-128565
Is it possible that they (Godaddy) configured mod_sec for photos but not for videos or this is another issue entirely?
I know what you mean bro, but the file is the same. It seams to me that mod_sec2 can not be disabled through .htaccess, only mod_sec1, but here it is:
Options +FollowSymLinksRewriteEngine On
AddEncoding gzip .gzAddEncoding gzip .gzip<FilesMatch "\.(js.gz|js.gzip)$"> ForceType text/javascript</FilesMatch><FilesMatch "\.(css.gz|css.gzip)$"> ForceType text/css</FilesMatch>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.phpRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index\.phpRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_cron/run\.phpRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/e500\.php#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.xml|\.feed|robots\.txt|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.xml|\.feed|robots\.txt|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]RewriteRule (.*) index.php
Never mind.
Godaddy just configured mod_sec so that the pictures could be uploaded the proper way.
Now they have done the same with videos.
Now, FINALLY, everything seems to be in order.
