Is mod_security enabled for the free hosting?

[kplague]

I'm trying to mod part of my SMF forum, lunecy.x10hosting.com, and having some difficulties. The forum's Package Manager isn't recognizing any .zip mods uploaded, and once I upload them using Filezilla, it shows one mod but applying it does nothing.

One thing somebody said in the SMF support forum is that it might be x10 enabling mod_security that prevents the mod from changing some of the files necessary.

Some hosts have begun installing something called mod_security. This filters posts and URLs for certain key words, and if they are found, spits out an error. Many people are experiencing problems because of this. Problems include weird "403" or access denied errors, login problems, and similar.

So..uhh...IS this enabled?

And if so, is there some way I can have it disabled?

Thanks in advance!

Not on Chopin, as far as I can tell.

I tested:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /error/404.html

</IfModule>

in .htaccess and Apache did not use my custom error doc. It did if I used mod_rewrite.c instead.

Yeah, it looked like the issue was the version of the forum instead.

Thanks for the help. <3
