Hello,
When I try to add links in the Update Services section of word press, I am getting the following error
----------
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /wp-admin/options.php could not be found on this server.
------------
I can add 10 links. But more than that I can't add the links. I disabled the mod_security. Still I am getting the same error.
Please advice me.
Thanks,
Joby
So you added SecFilterEngine Off to your .htaccess to disable mod_security, yes?
Have you also tried closing your browser and restarting it, or clearing the browser cache? That can happens sometimes, I've seen browsers cache redirect responses.

I am having the same problem on my newly formed blog - here is the error which I am getting;
Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /blog/wp-admin/options.php could not be found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I searched the error on google and found that I need to edit .htaccess file and add the following code into it;
<ifModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</ifModule>
so my blog's .htaccess file looks like this;
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
<ifModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</ifModule>
# END WordPress
but still it does not resolves my problem~ I double checked the file in the specific directory it is there but still the same issue!!! ~ can anyone help me out over here??? =(
regards.
Put that code into a new .htaccess file in your wp-admin directory only, not into the root .htaccess file.

I've deleted the old file and re-write the .htaccess file again - still the same problem. And yes, it's path is mydomain.com/blog/.htaccess

No what otto said was put the sec.. rules in a new .htaccess in your wp-admin directory.

# BEGIN WordPress
<ifModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</ifModule>
# END WordPress
still the same problem!! =(
Ask your host if they have mod_security enabled and if it's possible to disable it on a per-directory basis. They may have it set to where you can't turn it off.
I do not know of anything else that creates a 406 error, so I'd say that the answer has got to revolve around that in some way.
Regardless, you're going to have to talk to your host. Or get a new host.
