406 Not acceptable

  • When editing posts, I’m getting a ‘406 Not acceptable’ error
    with
    ‘An appropriate representation of the requested resource /mydomain/wp-admin/post.php could not be found on this server.’

    I’ve searched the forums and found the answer to add
    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    </IfModule>

    and

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterInheritance Off
    </IfModule>

    to the .htaccess file, which I’ve tried adding to the root, to the wp-admin directory and the theme directory. All to no avail.

    I should say, that I have other installations of WordPress running fine on the same host. The only difference is that this is in a sub-directory of a domain name.

    Any advice ?

    I should mention that the posts do seem to be changing, but I still get the error message

    Oops. Just checked – seems to be happening on all WordPress installations now.

    righto, it seems my host (eukhost) has recently installed mod_security.

    Hello Dgoodchild – I have the same prob as you using the eukhost – have you resolved the issue? if so could you tel me who to contact and what to ask for

    Thanks

    sorry for the delay Interskill. i had an online chat with christiano who was quite helpful.
    he removed it for me, though whether this affects security on my site, I’m still not sure.
