Cannot Edit Layout & Ip Keep Getting Blocked

Hello,

I have two main issues with cs cart:

1- My IP address keeps being blocked even though I am logged in as admin and following the security instructions as the docx required.

2- I cannot edit or move any of the layouts. I can only delete or add to it.

Anyone else faced with this issue?

Please check if Suhosin or Mod Security are installed on this server. If yes, try to temporary disable these extensions and check the result

This fixed both issues, thanks!

However, its only a temporary solution correct? any ideas on how to have this fixed permenantly for launch?

to have mod security enabled on your site, but disabled on your backend admin, add this rule to Modsecurity tools

SecRule REQUEST_URI "@beginsWith /my_custom_admin_page" "phase:1,id:12345,allow"

(change the name of your admin page to suit)

FYI, CS-Cart and ModSecurity do not play nice together and you may want to just disable it all together on your domain.

Sadly the CS-CArt documentation for ModSec rules is very outdated and no longer functional at all. I ended up just disabling it on the domain.

Okay, Ill keep that in mind, thanks aton for the help and tips. Helped alot

You can find details regarding both extensions here

And as I posted in the forum before the mod_security rules they suggest are outdated and useless in todays environments

  • mod_security should be disabled; if you don’t want to disable it fully, configure it to work with CS-Cart as described in this file;
