Hi @ospouh,

Are there some specific steps you followed to install BookStack on CloudLinux?
Can you share your apache config for BookStack?
Does the URL of the shown request exactly match the full base URL used to access the site homepage (including protocol) followed by /ajax/page/<number>/save-draft?

Hi @ssddanbrown

i believe i might have discoverd the problem and it might be from mod_security
Request: PUT /ajax/page/612/save-draft

it looks like modsecurity by default blocked PUT and Delete Methods causing the API to fail

@ospouh Good to hear you found the cause, I'll therefore close this off.
Note that, depending on configuration, other parts of BookStack may trigger mod security (commonly around using specific words/text in page/description content).
