I made a fresh Gallery2 installation on my local Linux server where apache has *no* mod_security. Result: Connection and upload are working without any problems.

Comment 2 Martin 2008-01-18 22:52:56 UTC

A second confirmation that this problem has to do with "mod_security": On the server I found the problem not able to connect to Gallery2 the mod_security was turned off by the provider - now the upload works well.

Comment 3 Andrew Stanley-Jones 2008-04-06 14:55:55 UTC

Same problem on my Gallery2 install. Being on a large shared hosting system mean I can't just ask to turn it off globally.  To turn off mod_security locally do the following:

Edit the .htaccess in the gallery2 install directory and add:

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

Comment 6 Colin Guthrie 2012-09-22 09:06:32 UTC

I'm afraid I have no idea. I haven't used Gallery for many many years :s I'd suggest closing it as old if you don't get confirmation otherwise.

Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2012-09-22 10:02:41 UTC

Ok, closed as fixed with explanations given in #3
