I'm setting up some new servers and the problem I'm having is with mod_security, as I do not want it installed onto the server.

I'm running CentOS 6.9 and am installing DA on a fresh, clean server. During the DA installation setup, I choose Option 1 for the latest CustomBuild.

After DA is installed, I upgrade MySQL to 5.6 and downgrade PHP to 5.4

How or where is mod_security being installed? What am I missing here?

I've installed DA onto CentOS 6 in the past and have never had these issues.

I checked the httpd.conf file and there's nothing in there regarding mod_security being set to install:

Code:
#ClamAV-related Settings
clamav=no
clamav_exim=yes
modsecurity_uploadscan=no
proftpd_uploadscan=no
pureftpd_uploadscan=no
suhosin_php_uploadscan=no

I've tried disabling it at the domain level, restarted Apache, and that doesn't help.

I don't know what else to do... how do I install DA without mod_security?

Any help would be appreciated?

Hi,

You can try:

I tried what you said, and that did not fix the problem.

If it matters, this was the results from setting modsecurity:

Code:
# ./build set modsecurity no
Changed [B]modsecurity[/B] option from [B]no[/B] to [B]no[/B]

I restarted Apache, and that did not fix the problem I'm having.
 
Changed modsecurity option from no to no
If you see this, modsecurity is not installed.

Maybe you can better tell us which problem you are having, so we can help you fix it. It must be caused by something else.

Edit: Ah dubbelposted with Sellerone, still, it would be wise to tell us which problem you have.
 
I ran this:
Code:
httpd -l | grep "mod_security"
And it came back with nothing... so I'm assuming mod_security is not installed.

The problem I'm having is with a web module that's not working because of an "AJAX Unicode Issue" which says the problem is "mod_security is preventing some AJAX requests from being submitted. You need to disable mod_security."

I have never had/seen this problem before so I'm not sure why/what is causing this.
 
Have you checked the logs? Can you give us the URL where the error appears?
What application is causing the issue, have you check with the application's developers?

Best regards
