    I've setup a new ISPConfig3 3.0.5 SP5 server with Apache mod_security as well.
    mod_security has been setup according this howto:
    After a succesful installation of mod_security, all websites are still up and running, which is nice.
    But...i am unable to access the ISPConfig webpage.
    Instead of the ISPConfig3 logon screen i see an error message with a warning that i am not allowed to enter the index.php page.
    What could be the reason and how can i solve this?

    do you see in apache error.log, which mod_security rule triggered this? If yes, then you can whitelist the rule for the ispconfig vhost or install directory.

    Hi Till,

    In the mean time i found the rule which was causing this.
    I created the file /etc/modsecurity/modsecurity_crs_99_whitelist.conf and added:

    SecRuleRemoveById <RuleID>

    Now i can enter ISPConfig3 again.
