What is Imunify360 set to, I saw another post mentioning that only yesterday? A2 should be able to help you with that.

viewtopic.php?p=16001419#p16001419

I have mentioned this in the open ticket I have with A2 Hosting and they gave the following reply on it.

We'll need them to be a bit more specific about the Immunify360 question. If the question is are we running it, yes we are, but Immunify360 has a lot of configurations so it's a very broad question. Modsec is just a module that manages the rule set, if a rule is broken it notifies Immunify360 and Immunify decides what to do after that, such as giving you a CAPTCHA or blocking your IP.

Try this, I can't test it as far as the mod_security rule goes so you can be the guinea pig. It's just temp solution if it works but it will help identify the problem whether it works or not.

Open /includes/functions.php

Find:

Code: Select all

		'S_LOGIN_REDIRECT'		=> $s_login_redirect,

Replace with (note: you need to edit in the root of your phpBB forum for https://www.example.com/forum/):

Code: Select all

		'S_LOGIN_REDIRECT'		=> str_replace( './../' , 'https://www.example.com/forum/' , $s_login_redirect),

Before uplaoding to your server rename existing functions.php to functions.php.bak so you have easy fallback to replace original file. Make sure mod_security is enabled. This may not be required but purge phpBB's cache. You may need to logout of forum to trigger login for ACP.

I tried this, it works as a workaround
