Hello. I had followed the instructions on the wiki to install my own PHP to get around some of the settings DH has configured. I downloaded the WebFTP package that dreamhost uses and installed it in a subdomain and I am having it use my PHP install instead of the default install (DH's).When I log into the WebFTP for the first time, I get an error 403, Service Unavailable. If i go back and enter my details again and login, it works. I looked in the error logs for this site and I saw the following (ip/hostname removed):
In reply to:[Thu Jul 24 15:59:30 2008] [error] [client 71.224.xxx.xxx] mod_security: Access denied with code 503. Pattern match "!^[0-9a-z]*$" at ARG("PHPSESSID") [severity "EMERGENCY"] [hostname "webftp.xxxxxxxx.xxx"] [uri "/index.php"] [unique_id "AoI63EPNEqcAAH4UbKcAAAAC"]

Any ideas what might be causing this? Is it a problem with my install of PHP or a problem with the WebFTP package?
