ACP Styles: Internal Server Error

[fum1n]

Hey all. I've had this problem for several days now and I've tried to figure it out but I just can't. I have 3.6.8. When I'm in the ACP and click any of the options under Styles and Templates (other than Replacement Variable Manager), I get the following error in the iframe:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@*****.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'd appreciate any help in this matter, and sorry if it's been asked recently before, but I looked and could not find any topic on this.

Thank you.

This may be due to mod_security.

While mod_security can be a very powerful tool, misconfigured or overly strict rule sets can interfere with vBulletins Operation. Below for Apache users you can use an htaccess file and add a specific rule to disable mod_security.

Make or edit your forum .htaccess file and add the following code

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

Note, place this file in your main forum directory.

Thanks for responding Marco. I added that bit to my .htaccess file - but still no fix. Does it have to be located in a certain area of the document or something?

Thank you again

Can you enable Public PHPInfo in your vBulletin options and provide a link to your board.
