Good evening,
i'm trying to make work modsecurity with core rule set 2.2.4 but i have very
strange behaviors. If i enable modsecurity, i cannot access my blog (WordPress
3.3.2) and i get a 403 error and my logs are full with these things:

I have tried to disable these 2 lines and now all works (it seems so) but i'm
wondering if there is a way to make it work or i have to disable the line 77
and 169 of file modsecurity_crs_41_sql_injection_attacks.conf?
Thanks
