    This is a bit wierd. I was blogging when i came across this error :
    Not Acceptable
    An appropriate representation of the requested resource /blog/wp-admin/post.php could not be found on this server.

    this is the first time i came across this kind of error and so i cut and pasted my post line by line to see if it would work. To my surprise, i narrowed it down to this line:
    You will realise that its quite a squeeze when you insert into an adaptor.

    Then i narrowed it down further to single words
    and found that its the conbination of words "insert into" thats the problem.

    Has anyone come across this same error?

    Um. Sounds like your server is trying to prevent (in a sort of jackhammer way) things like sql insertions and that type of security risk....

    It's probably an issue with Apache's mod_security. Here's a few threads on the issue:

    This problem cropped up on my blog today. I have narrowed down the cause to TypePad URLs in comments or posts.

    Also, incoming links to my blog from TypePad blogs generate the same error.

    Do I really have to edit .htaccess to fix this? Is there no way around?
