CWAF prevents file uploads on WordPress

[jet1972]

CWAF plugin version 2.24.5, rules version 1.229

I keep getting these messages with files over 10 Mb.

“Unexpected response from the server. The file may have been uploaded successfully. Check in the Media Library or reload the page.”

If I disable CWAF then uploading is working normally.

So how to get CWAF to accept larger files?

Hello,

Try and change SecResponseBodyLimit

changes to php.ini have no effect / which php.ini?

Hi everyone, I would like to change my php.ini, but it seems that the changes have no effect. Even changing engine=On to engine=Off doesn't do anything; php still works... I have 3 php.ini's: /usr/local/etc/php5/cgi/php.ini /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-5.2.6/php.ini-recommended...

Thanks for the suggestion.

Tried it and CWAF says it has saved the changes, but in reality the new SecResponseBodyLimit is not saved for some reason!

Yes, noticed the same. We do it in a console.

And the exact file is located at?

Can't find SecResponseBodyLimit anywhere!

I did not find anything in my records, and I don't use ModSecurity on my own servers, so it's up to you to find which file you need to modify.
