    Hello,

    Is it possible to enable the Wordfence Web Application Firewall on IIS7/8. There isn’t a server option for IIS 7/8 + CGI/FastCGI . WebsitePanel which is a very popular Windows control panel uses .htaccess for its secure folders module below. I hit continue on the Wordfence Web Application Firewall page and the website crashed as it created the .htaccess and .user.ini in the hosting directory, I needed to manually delete them to get the website backup. the php.ini solutions isn’t an option as it’s a global server php.ini file for all shared hosting websites managed by the system administrator. WebsitePanel does not create individual php.ini for each share server websites, wish it did.

    Bottom-line, I know this is going to be an issue for my clients as they will just assume they need to hit the continue button and their websites will crash causing unnecessary support time, finger pointing and possible loss of business.

    Please disable the configuration option on IIS servers or if possible create a rule that’s inserted into the IIS web.config file similar to the WordPress permalinks, or…

    Thank you, Ramsey
