    Hi there,

    I created a subdomain in my cPanel just for my blogs at http://blog.mysite.com. Then I proceeded to upload and install WPMU2.8.2 in the root of http://blog.mysite.com using subfolder style hoping that the blogs will be accessible via http://blog.mysite.com/blog1, http://blog.mysite.com/blog2 etc.

    So far ok.
    Until I came across a few weird functionality issues.
    1) In the admin of the blogs, I cannot add new category for post. Nothing happen here.
    2) In the admin of the blogs in the add new post page, in the Add Image lightbox, if I click on the button Insert Into Post, I get a Forbidden error "You don't have permission to access /blog1/wp-admin/media-upload.php on this server."
    3) In the admin of the blogs in the Settings >> General page, when I click Save Changes, I get Forbidden error "You don't have permission to access /blog1/wp-admin/options.php on this server."

    There may be more, but I have only encountered those so far.

    However, these didn't happen if I'm in the main WPMU admin http://blog.mysite.com/wp-admin where I can add new categories, insert image into post and save the General settings like I normally would.

    Please advise

    It's a mod_security issue. I've fixed this by adding SecFilterEngine Off in the first line of .htaccess
