System > Settings > Mail generating an error

[JeffP]

When I go to System  > Settings > Mail I get an error -

Method Not Implemented
GET to /index.php not supported.
Additionally, a 501 Method Not Implemented error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Is there something I missed in the setup?

Hello.

It looks like mod_security module on your server block this page

Looks like I am screwed. I have spoken to the hosting company and they will not do anything as they say it would seriously compromise the server if disabled. I actually understand, but that means I either use another cart or go to another host. All of which is going to mean a lot more work. Very annoyed that AbanteCart Cart code is such a way to cause this problem, and the host allows installation of a cart that is not compatible.

Your host answer is beginners like answers to the issue.  They DONT need to disable module on server. What they need to do is adjust mod_security rules to allow that page. Simple for hosting who care about customers.

This is not related to AbanteCart code. mod_security is some addon on server with tons of false positive alarms in almost any software.
