406 not acceptable

i’m fairly new at textpattern (i’ve been using it for a few months), and recently i tried to edit my template and i get this error:

406 Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /textpattern/index.php could not be found on this server.

anyone know what i did? my url is imaclanni.com (in case, i dunno).

this is what my diagnostics thing says:

You’ve got to talk to your hosting provider.

I had the same error message recently. In my case this was an effect of mod_security choking on certain spam related keywords in the content I was trying to modify.

I was adviced to create a .htaccess file in the /textpattern directory with this content:

bc..<IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

HTH,

Robert

my site didn’t like the .htaccess code, it went crazy.

but i did find out that only one part of my template is doing this. the code is:

<script type="text/javascript" src="..."></script>

(there’s a url there, but it’s not affected it so i left it out)

any idea why it hates the javascript so much?

Try enclosing the javascript between code and /code tags to make it viewable on the forum.

sorry, i didn’t notice i forgot to. looks like someone did it for me though : )

Well, if your host isn’t running mod_security, they’re probably running some other application-layer firewall which is trying to “protect” you from the JS…it could easily be a vector for XSS attacks and the like.

Unfortunately, whatever’s filtering the request has no way to know that in this instance it’s “safe”. You may want to raise this issue with your host.

I just had this problem and I realized the problem was caused by having quotes (") in the filename of an image I was uploading using textpattern.
