Hello people,
I just installed WordPress clean while setting up a new project and used some extra security inside my .htaccess file to block bots and other trouble.
Most people who know WordPress will also know this Firewall code.

Well after all this installing is complete i try to install Piwik inside a folder on my Root of the hosting and i get this error before installing Piwik!
Everything else is green and checked only for this message.
Could somebody please help me and give me a solution to Whitelist Piwik?
Or will this only be an install problem?
What if i delete the G5 Firewall code from my .htaccess file for just a few minutes, - > install Piwik and after the installation is completed i restore back my G5 Firewall code would that also solve this problem or not?
Meanwhile thanks,
