406 error

[Chrome Orange]

ok

Got a 406 error today when I was editing a product

Forum didn't have a huge amount of help on the subject so I thought I post what I have been able to find out / do

Got hold of my host and for once they were quite helpful

Following the spate of outages a couple of weeks ago, the server techs installed the apache mod_security module. It is essentially a webserver-level firewall.

It shouldn't have caused any problems, but it could interpret some actions as bad, typically POSTs containing what it considers dodgy data.

I have found a way of disabling mod_security. Just place the following in an .htaccess file in the directory containing the script file:

SecFilterEngine Off

Still need to look at why it does it but the htaccess thing fixed it

Thanks for the tip! Never know when that might come in handy.
