my mod_sec is blocking fckeditor from performing functions due to an .htaccess block I have in place. However there is no ID number to create a location match with. RULE: Mod_Sec Log: Typically a location match looks like: However, I have no ID to set for this one. Anyone know how I can exclude FCKEditor from the rule?

Look up the error log for mod_security and grab the rule-id from there and you should be good to go ....

You are looking at the RULE (SecRule) which blocked your request, check the next line that starts with 'SecAction' which will have the rule id. BTW, what does the complete SecRule and the next line say?

You will need to specify the rule id or you can set an ID for this rule yourself, Otherwise you can completely disable mod_sec filtering for a specific directory or a virtual host which is not recommended.

I'll set my own ID number, thanks.
