   the front end seems to be working fine. But on the backend many actions result in a 404 page (not an error page just the blogs 404 page)

   two blogs it is affecting- http://everydayeve.com and http://letterstobreathe.com

   some of the actions so far:
   inserting an image into a post - when I click on 'insert' the frame directs to a 404 page, leaving the page behind it the edit post screen

   saving a draft- immediately goes to a 404 page, and does not save the draft at all. -- it is also not saving drafts on its own, my edit post screen is just showing "Saving Draft… Last edited...." and not saving.

   publishing a post- same thing

   -----this is not theme Dependant, or plugin based, I have deactivated all plugins and went to the 20/20 theme and having same problem.

   ----- this is happening to all my blogs that I have updated to 3.1.1 - which were all working prior to the upgrade (did the deactivating/theme test on all to double check)

   help!! I can't publish or save any posts and am freaking out a little lol

   I'm having the same problem!
   It happened before I upgraded to 3.1.1! Whats going on??

   Same problem here.

   When I edit a page through the WordPress graphic user interface at

   http://domainname.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=56&action=edit

   and then click "Update", the page refreshes to

   http://domainname.com/wp-admin/post.php

   resulting in a 404 error, when it should refresh to

   http://domainname.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=56&action=edit&message=1

   This didn't happen before I auto-upgraded to 3.1.1

   My hosting is with JustHost- just in case that is a common denominator...

   I'm having this same issue... My hosting is also with JustHost.

   Hey, can any of you change your permalink settings? I get this error when trying to do that too...

   That pretty much indicates that JustHost is likely the source of the problem.

   Now we just need some help in identifying what the problem could be.

   More info:

   This issue happens when I try update or create pages that contain images. If the page has no images, it works fine.

    Hey guys, good news. Just spoke with JustHost! Here is the convo:

    Ana: Welcome to Live Chat support, how may I help you?
    Me: Hi there, I'm having a problem with my WordPress installation. It seems to be limited to JustHost
    Me: I keep getting 406 errors when updating posts/pages that contain images
    Me: I know you guys aren't the ones who support WordPress, but in discussion with other people, it seems that JustHost is the common denominator
    Ana: Please allow me some time to check
    Me: ok, thank you
    Ana: We are aware of the issue, there is some problem with the mod_security function.
    Ana: Our admins are working on the issue, it will be resolved as soon as possible.
    Me: great! thank you very much!
    Ana: You are welcome!!

    thanks so much! I was just logging in to talk to them myself!

    thank goodness it is a host problem and not something I broke this time!

    I should have done this earlier today. I've spent hours trying to fix my site. lol

    But one 3 minute convo with their Support was all it took to get the answer. Oh well, at least I know I wasn't the one who broke it. lol

    I too can publish and update pages without images.

    Awesome work by you Slompy, and by JustHost.

    From JustHost:

    Hello,

    I have disabled mod_rewrite for your domain name. Please clear browser cache and check it.
    Everything should work fine.

    Please let us know if you need more help.
    Thank you.

    Things now work fine.

    Yeah! At least we now know its not our fault!
    My response from justhost was

    "Our system admins are diligently working on it to fix it at the earliest."

    So I guess, its sit and wait for me.

    Just want to say how grateful I am for this page! I'm also having this issue, and I'm also using Justhost. After making myself crazy for the last hour I'm happy to see it's a justhost problem and they're on it. Thank you fellow wordpressers!

    Same here. 10 WP installations, all hosted on Justhost (damn!)

    is it gonna be a cross servers solution? or do we need to open a ticket separately, so they will know which hosters have the problem?

    I am so happy to see this--Like the rest of you, I'm using JustHost too, and couldn't insert images. I suppose I'll check with JustHost & see what needs to be done! *relieved!*

    FYI, I started a livechat with tech support last night and while the chat was in progress my problem was addressed and I was able to post again. Have other folks seen improvement even if they didn't explicitly contact justhost?

    Justhost must have fixed that for all accounts as the site I was trying to edit last night seems to be working fine now. Edits will save, and permalinks seem to now be working. I still have no visual editor in IE9, but that seems to work fine with Firefox. I have not tried Chrome this morning.

    Does anyone know exactly what JustHost did to resolve this?

    I have the same issue, but I am with a different host - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/saving-drafts-error-404-page-not-found?replies=1

    If you look through all the posts Slompy and dylannickelson reached out to JustHost and their response was:

    From JustHost:

    Hello,

    I have disabled mod_rewrite for your domain name. Please clear browser cache and check it.
    Everything should work fine.

    Please let us know if you need more help.
    Thank you.

    So it looks like if your host disables mod_rewrite that might be a good place to start.
