 * I have hostgator and I found out that I think I have to enable the “avoid mod_security”
   option.
 * I have no idea how to do this? Can someone explain that to me?
 * Thanks!

 * Called hostgator and they told me I need the modsec rule ID. Can someone identify
   the modsec rule ID that needs to be enabled?
 * Thanks, I am really looking forward to using this software.

 * Have a look at the tracking settings to choose the “avoid mod_security” settings.
 * To get support regarding your host settings, please contact hostgator again.
