New Configuration Causing Problems

    Hey there!  When this issue happens, what shows up in the Apache log (/etc/apache2/logs/error_log) on the server?  I would expect there to be more details there.

    This was a good lead, but it raises more questions. What the log is showing is "[client 72.197.212.225:0] client denied by server configuration". And 72.197.212.225 is my office IP address. The problem is that I have (and had) my office IP address whitelisted in CSF and cPHulk. As someone who only understands about 10% of the server-side, I am wondering if having both CSF and cPHulk is a problem? Or is there another place I need to whitelist my IP address?

    It could be an issue as they can both perform similar functions.  If you disable cPHulk are you able to access the pages normally?

    Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have fixed it. Disabled cPHulk, began two admin sessions, within minutes, got a 404 in the second site. This is the error log:

    Thanks for the additional details.  This is an issue with ModSecurity on the system - can you try the adjustment mentioned here?

    I also redacted that log as we can't share domain names or IPs on the Forum.

    Thank you. I was just in a rush, I appreciate that very much. Am doing a restart on server now, will let you know if it worked.

    I am getting this recommendation in EasyApache:

    PHP DSO runs as the user nobody by default. In a shared hosting environment, this is a security issue.

    • We strongly recommend that you install one of the following packages unless this is a single-user system:
      • ea-apache24-mod_ruid2
      • ea-apache24-mod_mpm_itk
    • If you use suPHP, you will add some security, but may experience performance issues on your server.

    No joy, still getting a 404 randomly

    Did the entries in the Apache logs change after that work?

    No, still getting  "[client 72.197.212.225:0] client denied by server configuration".

    Can you create a support ticket so the server can be examined?

    Yes. The cPanel license is under my server provider - even though it's a dedicated server. I have asked them to help me do this.
