eUK Host - HTML Tags in product description field redirect to homepage

April 23, 2008

If your osCommerce site is hosted on eUK Host then you may encounter the following problem: if you try and enter HMTL tags such as <br> or <p> in the product description field, you are redirected to the sites homepage.

This is because of the mod_security module on the eUK servers.

To fix, open up the .htaccess file in the root or catalog folder of your website, and enter the following code at the top:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
