Well I installed the jquery file upload script, and then tried moving the folder where the uploaded images are saved. Got it working in a different location but the delete button would not work (won't delete files). While trying to figure out why that is happening the server started blocking my IP every time I load the page 5 or so times.

This is what my host told me is happening:

Message: Access denied with code 501 (phase 2). Match of "rx ^((?:(?:POS|GE)T|OPTIONS|HEAD))$" against "REQUEST_METHOD" required. [file "/usr/local/apache/conf/modsec2.user.conf"] [line "38"] [id "960032"] [msg "Method is not allowed by policy"] [severity "CRITICAL"] [tag "POLICY/METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED"]

Is it something I did or would this have happened with a fresh install? I'm not sure if it's ok to get rid of this mod rule?
