Comments.Text: Suhosin is not enabled, and I have no idea if mod_security is or isn't (don't have a lot of control over the server), but I tried disabling it through .htaccess and I think that might've done the trick. I'll update this at the end of the day after seeing if it continues to work. Thanks!

Title: Craft CMS and LiteSpeed (403 error on login)
ThreadText: # Craft CMS and LiteSpeed (403 error on login)
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-06-24)
  
  When trying to login to the administration section on a server running [LiteSpeed](https://www.litespeedtech.com), half the time LiteSpeed triggers a 403 Forbidden message and locks that computer out of the entire server Craft is running on. I'm assuming Craft is doing something that LiteSpeed deems as suspicious but I have no idea what that could be.
  
  I'm currently trying to get access to the logs but the host is taking it's sweet time. In an ideal world I would just find another host but in this situation that's just not feasible. I'm pulling my hair out trying to get this to work, and I found love with Craft that I don't want to deny.
  
  If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be so grateful!

  It turns out mod\_security was the culprit, so disabling it got Craft working.
