Issue installing Power CMS on Go Daddy servers due to new Mod Security settings

Recently GoDaddy has implemented mod security on there PHP servers. This change is causing the installation of Power CMS to fail with an error saying the server unexpectadly droped the connection.

In Safari, the error may look like:

Safari can't open the page "http://www.yourdomain.com/install_cms/database.php" because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.

In Fire Fox:

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Attached is a copy of the install_cms/database.php file to correct the problem
