How to disable specific ModSecurity rules for a domain or server-wide?
Answer
Note: Not all rules can be disabled due to the MODSEC-274 bug in ModSecurity.

Go to Domains > example.com > Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity).
Note: The Switch off security rules section is visible only when the Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity) mode is set to On or Detection only.

Hi,
Ok thx.
If you want to disable a rule for a specific folder use this :
<IfModule mod_security2.c>
# General rules
SecResponseBodyLimit 536870912
SecRuleRemoveById 999777
# A comment
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld/httpdocs/yourfolder>
SecRuleRemoveById 999888
</Directory>
</IfModule>
Replace domain.tld and yourfolder with correct informations for you ...
