Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the forum before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: (1.5.23)
PHP version: (5.2.9)
MySQL version: (5.0.92-log)
Host: (self - OSX 10.6 Server)
Admin Tools version: (1.5.23 Pro)


Description of my issue:
Just installed the latest version of AdminTools and immediately my users started notifying me of problems uploading PDFs to the site. After some looking around at .htaccess and cache, compression, I figured out that the issue is with the Web Application Firewall in AdminTools Pro. The DFI setting is blocking uploading. Not sure it's more than PDFs, that's what we normally upload. For now, I have turned that option off.

Joomla! 1.5.23, JCE 2.0.14, JCE File Manager 2.0.9, Admin Tools 2.1.10, all WAF options turned on, running on Mac OS X: I can not replicate this issue :s The only thing I could replicate is having a PDF with PHP code inside it, blocked by UploadShield. So, which Admin Tools release have you got? The version number (1.5.23) you mention does not correspond to any version I have ever published.

Sorry.. that should've been 2.1.10 Pro.

Just tested it again to verify. I get an HTTP Error -200 with DFI turned on.

When I go into the log in the WAF, it see it in the log and it says DFIShield is the reason.

Is it possible to send me a Personal Message with Super Admin access to this particular site? I would like to analyze the request from the file manager to see why the DFI is being triggered.
