Mysterious 406 Error in IE/Opera
Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2006 2:08 am
During installation of S9Y I chose "Expert installation" (or whatever it is called). I filled in everything and set my options and pressed the relevant button to proceed.
Repeatedly the result of this was a vague 406 Error (Not Acceptable) in my browser. I reproduced it in Internet Explorer 6 and Opera 9.02. So immediately after pressing the button to save the settings and proceed you get this error page. Nothing gets saved because of this error.
Soon I found out that the installation went fine when choosing "Simple installation". Nonetheless, my happiness was premature because the same 406 error came back when I tried to change and save my Configuration in the S9Y backend later on.
I was truly dumbstruck because I didn't find anything on this error in the forums. To cut a long story short, after some frustration I read on another site that this was an Apache-related error, in particular an error related to the Apache module mod_security. After I added this:
to the standard S9Y .htaccess file the 406 error was history!
Hope this can help others with this problem.
