Hey all, I use mod_security in conjunction with apache 1.3.37 on my server and have got an email from a client complaining that the module is giving him issues with his website and would like it disabled.
Is there any way for me to disable mod_security on his account only and leave it functional everywhere else?

Many thanks
Chris

I found a solution to the problem, a user can disable mod_security for their domain by adding the following to their .htaccess file within public_html;

SecFilterEngine Off

I havn't confirmed that this works yet but i hope it does.

Depending on how you compiled mod_security you might have disabled users from disabling it in their .htaccess. In this case, you'll need to add the directive to their Virutal host container in httpd.conf
