There is more than 1 global_disabled_rules.conf file in the mix.

It depends how you set your modsec up (eg: which one is it pointed to).

Hi,

I basically use the following recommendations from @Starburst:

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/modsecurity-running-with-control-web-panel/recommended-ruleset-paths-running-cwp-and-apache-on-almalinux-8-9/

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/modsecurity-running-with-control-web-panel/update-owasp-crs-ruleset-to-4-16-0-running-cwp-and-apache-on-almalinux-8-9/

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/modsecurity-running-with-control-web-panel/update-modsecurity-to-2-9-11-running-cwp-and-apache-on-almalinux-8-9/

Again, according to his instructions, I placed the global_disabled_rules.conf file in a "before" folder and supposedly I have an entry for the folder to read *.conf

└── custom-rules
├── startup
├── before
└── after

How can I check if this is happening and the global_disabled_rules.conf file is being read from there?
