Can anyone help with this please. I have been running drupal happily on two different web sites, under two different hosting services.

One of them now has serious problems with all HTML tags in page content.

For instance, I might have a page including 'Render this <em>italic</em>' which is working but now if I attempt to edit the page via drupal to something like 'Render this <em>italic</em> please' submit (and preview) crashes and returns me to the Home page. The page still works, but it is not changed. It looks as if the tags are causing serious problems en route to the database? I'm mystified.

My hunch is it's something to do with the hosting service (who have messed things up before) and apache. Recently they have enabled phpsuexec, which caused me a few problems with respect to .htaccess but that was sorted by installing php.ini.

So I don't really think this is a drupal problem per se but I hope someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

John Coleman

Support at my hosting service has now fixed this:


All our shared servers have mod_security installed which is a security module that blocks PHP codes matching the patterns in its rules (probably to prevent things being messed up by hackers). I have now disabled the security module for your account and this has been done through .htaccess file itself. You can try saving content in Drupal to verify the same.

Blocking all HTML tags seems like extreme 'security' to me, but at least I'm back in business.
