You can also disable or enable the mod_security firewall at your convenience if you are developing any feature of your site to avoid false positives. After this we recommend you activate it again

Pete also gives you the option to disable it completely or disable it per sites

You can also see in a table and easy to manage which rules were activated and the attacks that Pete’s mod_security constantly protects your site

In this example you can see how we disabled the mod_security firewall and you showed the result of that address that otherwise would have triggered a protection rule

1. For this example we purchased an SSL certificate from my favorite site for SSL certificates: ssls.com

2. We choose the upload file validation option

3. Let’s download the validation text file

4. The validation path must be the same one that we will use to upload the validation file from Pete

5. Once we have uploaded the validation file, click confirm file upload from the ssl.com dashboard

6. We wait a few minutes for the SSL certificate to be issued and after that we download it

7. Now in the SSL upload form from Pete we carefully select the 3 SSL files: .crt, .key, bundle

8. After this we go to the SSL activation form and select SSL: on and then click on UPDATE SSL STATUS

9. And it’s ready

10. The SSL files are stored in /var/www/html/ssl/project_name . To update an SSL certificate repeat these steps first disabling the SSL STATUS
