MySQL cant receive connections from external servers
Recently I had to move to a cPanel machine of my own due an inprofessional business I ran into.
Anyways, it has been non stop headache and I am so exhausted from this all.
What is happening is the server was constantly getting attacked. So I decided to install mod_security, this may have been the stupidest mistake I have ever made, I should have just dealt with the constant attacks.
After installing mod security, things are not working right, and I have no idea how to get rid of it.
What the main problem is, is that I have other external servers that need to connect from a different subnet, to this machine to pull data from it. Whenever the daemon launches (this is not the webserver) to try and connect to the remote MySQL server (this is the server that is having problems) it cannot connect.
I have to fully reboot the server, when it comes back up i have to restart mysql in order for the program to work... for about an hour or two..
Is there anyway to get rid of this mod_security, ill take my chances with the exploits I presume.

// Just wanted to add..
I commented out the 2 lines in the httpd.conf that call mod_security. But this is still giving me problems.
Thanks again.
