Disabling mod_security on XenForo

[PlanetMaster]

Will adding these lines in htaccess completely disable mod_security on my XenForo community?

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Depends what version of mod security it is.

However if its the right version yes, just place those entries before the XenForo rules.

I have Apache 2.x so it should be using mod_security 2.x.

Actually I have added those lines in htaccess (actually just removed the # from original) but I can't seem to upload files using Flash uploader.
Any ideas?

It was another mod_security interference!
I have white-listed the triggered rule.

The ModSecuirty rule 300016 was buffering the attachments in the log!
Weird but white-listing the rule solved the problem..

Can you describe how you whitelisted it ?
I've never heard of anyone getting rid of a mod_security problem via whitelisting. (I knew it was possible, but never seen any reports).
most people with mod_security on don't have this problem.
I wonder why you did.

rule 300016 incorrectly matches "selection" word

What was your specific situation that was triggering 300016 ?
