Mod Security Folders

Within the dolphin installation instructions there is a line:


"If some security module is installed on the server (such as mod_security for Apache), it should be able to be disabled or set up for specific folders".


So I just installed mod security and by adding the following to the Default VirtualHost allows upload of audios etc. But without it the uploader stalls.


<IfModule security2_module>

    SecRuleEngine Off

 

</IfModule>


I guess this is a good thing and shows that mod security is doing its job.


However, rather than have the whole site unprotected by mod security, are there specific folders I can allow so dolphin functions yet most of the site remains protected by mod security.


I am new to mod security and have the defaults plus a few extra changes applied and of course will learn more in the future as I build etc.


But for now I would like to protect as much as possible.


Any ideas about specific folders to protect would be helpful.


Thanks.

I would suggest to have this module enabled and if it will be any issues, then disable it for the features that don't work.

Thanks AlexT

It stops the sounds from processing and I'm guessing videos too.

Any idea how to configure it to allow specific folders. And which ones in dolphin.

Not sure if it would be the files/files or whether its the ffmpeg file itself and theres a lof of places it could be in D7, so don't want to throw mud at the wall.

From what I can gather this seems to be just one location. I think I sorted it, thanks

Seems I was premature. The registration process doesnt work because its being block. Not sure at present how to unblock  whatever pages need unblocking
