[resolved] Weird "Method Not Implemented" error (4 posts)

    Hi,

    Today I got a weird error when I was posting on an active blog (with more than 200 posts).

    I was able to add new posts with "lorem ipsum" text and blank content but I keep getting the message when I try to post the same specifc text

    "Method Not Implemented
    GET to .../wp-admin/post.php not supported.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

    After some time testing each part of the text, I found out that the part "CD/" was causing the error. I removed it and the post was saved fine.
    I tested other combinations of letters and words with "/" and everything was ok except "CD/" and "CD /"

    I tested on other blog with WP 3.0.4 on the same server and it happened again. I tested on WP other servers and the error didn't happened.

    Is it a mod security problem? Anyone has seen this kind of error before?

    I think CD may be a common command to change directories. It seems likely that CD is not getting past mod_security because it might match part of a pre-defined pattern in the rules.

    [edit] ...just a reminder, and you are probably already aware of this, but you may want to consider the issues that will eventually arise from not updating your version of WordPress.

    "WordPress version: 2.8.4"

    Hi Clayton

    I've already open a support ticket on my host service. It's probably mod_security.

    About WP version: I'm finishing a new theme for the parent site and it will become a multiblog. Then all his old versions children blogs will be on WP3.

    It was mod security.
