System           Action status: 2; Target: /Wizard/Edit/Modules/ImageGallery/ImageUpload; Messages: Error! Operation has not been completed.

RESOLUTION

mod_security includes more then 100 configuration options, their compatibility with configuration of Sitebuilder have not been investigated completely yet.

Currently you should disable the module or add the directives below into mod_security configuration.

<Directory /path/to/your-domain.com/public_html>
   <Files server.php>
      SecFilterScanPOST Off
   </Files>
</Directory>

Where /path/to/your-domain.com/public_html is location of the apache virtual host the site is published to.
