    I’m very confused. When i’m working on the backend of WP 2.7, for some reason mod_security bans me.

    After bringing this to my server’s support, they replied with:

    The server apache’s firewall got triggered. I have unblock your IP.

    Here is log:
    72.67.128.142 # lfd: 5 (mod_security) login failures from 72.67.128.142 in the last 300 secs – Wed Feb 4 12:58:23 2009

    /wp-admin/%3C?php%20bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’);%20?%3E/styles/%3C?php%20echo HTTP/1.1

    It trigger a Pattern match “echo ” at REQUEST_LINE.

    The command ‘echo’ is use in linux to output a file.. Is it possible to rename the file name to another name?

    and

    /%3C?php%20bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’);%20?%3E/styles/%3C?php%20echo

    It seem to be the file in ‘styles’ directory affecting. I hope you are able to rename the style file name..

    If not, the last resort is to disable mod_security protection for your site.

    Log:
    75.80.58.84 # lfd: 5 (mod_security) login failures from 75.80.58.84 in the last 300 secs – Wed Feb 4 15:56:04 2009

    Can anyone help with a solution? I’d greatly appreciate it.

    Henock.
