**Your software**
My Mautic version is:
My PHP version is: 7.2.23
**Your problem**
My problem is:
Im unable to save or apply any setting at all, which leads to no activity being recorded whatsoever. as it seems to be restricting all the domains and I cant change that.
I really dont know much about databases, but I imagine that is a problem about not being able to writte in the database?, alldough other things works just fine.
These errors are showing in the log: last one
[2019-10-29 18:12:50] mautic.ERROR: SCHEMA ERROR: An exception occurred while executing ‘SELECT f.alias, f.is\_unique\_identifer as is\_unique, f.type, f.object FROM mwlead\_fields f WHERE f.object = ‘lead’ ORDER BY f.field\_order ASC’: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table ‘rsqyjlmy\_mwmautic.mwlead\_fields’ doesn’t exist
Steps I have tried to fix the problem: re- install the whole thing.
There was another question with the same problem but no answer is detailed there so I gotta ask here.
UPDATE: After hitting save, I saw that there appears an error in the console:

and I checked and that table does exist, it seems like the problem with the log might not be so related to this issue?
oh, I installed twice and both times I get the same issue.

# php app/console mautic :update:find
Great! You are running the current version of Mautic.
Yes I have done everything now through ssh.
I was talkingto bluehost and perhaps has something to do with the mod\_security thing, so I have to wait for them to de-activate it and see, I just hope that that is it haha

They need to whitelist that function. A 406 response is a telltale sign of Mod Security blocking something.

Thanks to everyone for your help! now is solved, if someone else have this question, just tell them to modify their mod\_security or contact their webhost to do so if they cant acces it!.
thanks again!

I had a similar problem with creating forms with a redirect to a url on a hostgator shared site. I got the Mod security settings turned off by hostgator and now all good. This only seems to be a recent issue.

Yes its an issue with Mod\_security , i would never recommend a shared hosting for the mautic installation… Mautic is better performing on VPS

Not really, you can get a free tier on AWS, Digital Ocean droplets start from a few $$ per month. Depends what you consider to be expensive really.
As this is a different topic to the original post, so I’m going to close this as a solved post 🙂
