   Hello!

   I have just installed wordpress and everything went just fine, but now in the admin area when i try to make new categories i get this.

   Not Acceptable
   An appropriate representation of the requested resource /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php could not be found on this server.

   What to do?

   disable mod_security:

   IF YOU DO NOT HAVE an .htaccess in your wp-admin/ directory:

   create a text file on your desktop:

   put the following inside it:

   <IfModule mod_security.c>
   SecFilterInheritance Off
   </IfModule>

   name it whatever you like and save the file.

   Upload the file to your wp-admin directory.

   Rename the uploaded file to .htaccess (with the .)

   IF YOU DO HAVE an .htaccess in your wp-admin/ directory:

   Edit it and add:

   <IfModule mod_security.c>
   SecFilterInheritance Off
   </IfModule>

   And if I can make a recommendation, use the search here -- it's your friend, this issue has already been discussed ad nauseum; your your answer was two clicks away.

   And also before you write to the .htaccess file, don't you have to change its permissions to at least 666? (And afterward, change it back to 644?)

   Just wondering about that.

   nope! why would you need to change permissions on a file that you are uploading via ftp? :)

   Granit, follow my instructions and you will be fine.
