HTTP 406 when submitting new page

[pdedecker]

When submitting a newly added page to the server, I get this error message:

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

What does this mean?

When submitting a newly added page to the server, I get this error message:

Have you mod_security enable?
Try with an .htaccess in admin folder:

Code: Select all

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

Have you mod_security enable?

I can't find a variabele that is called mod_security in config.php.

Try with an .htaccess in admin folder:

Code: Select all

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

I tried that, but then I get a HTTP 500 error when accessing /cmsms/admin/.

mod_security is a module for apache server
Check documentation for disabled or ask your provider

Hmm... I can't find it in my web host's documentation or in the control panel.

Maybe worth mentioning is that they also host a second site for me that doesn't experience this issue. Another thing worth mentioning is that my first site did not have this problem at first. It worked fine for a long time. It was not until recently that I started experiencing this issue, even though I haven't changed any of the webserver settings.

Edit: I have access to the filesystem via FTP. Where should I look for the Apache configuration file? /etc/httpd/conf/ is empty.

depend to your distribution ....
but I think that is better ask to your provider .....

This is interesting... I haven't changed anything yet, but sometimes I get that nasty error and sometimes it just works fine. Does that mean it's not related to that Apache setting?

Depend what data arrived on server
mod_security check all data traffic with your server
