If you’re hosted on Hostgator or any other host that use Modsecurity to protect their web server, you might notice some problems especially if you try to post something that has forbidden words / string in it. It seems the Hostgator modsecurity filter doesn’t allow some words in my previous post, so you’ll get HTTP 406 / Not Acceptable message (if you look at the http status header manually)
So what’s the best solution to rectify this without compromising your system security ? .. you can add the below lines into .htaccess to disable modsecurity when you try to post something to your blog :
The above lines means : If modsecurity is found, it’ll disable the filtering function. If modsecurity not found it’ll do no harm to your server
If you’re able to post to your blog successfully, you can remove the above lines from your .htaccess file or you can simply add # character before each line
