• I’m trying to log in to my own blog, and I can’t access the login page. I’m getting a 406 error with the message: “An appropriate representation of the requested resource /blog/wp-login.php could not be found on this server.”

    How do I fix this??

    10.4.7 406 Not Acceptable

    The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request.

    Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice MAY be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection.

    Note: HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to return responses which are
    not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the
    request. In some cases, this may even be preferable to sending a
    406 response. User agents are encouraged to inspect the headers of
    an incoming response to determine if it is acceptable.

    If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further actions.

    Try from a different client (that means the computer sending and receiving server responses).

    I tried accessing it from a different computer but I got the same message.
    I’m not sure what the rest of that actually means?

    Try a different network and OS also….typically 406 errors are client based errors (which could include your computer, another computer or your network, a supervisory networked computer, a network server, a firewall, a browser is use, an anti-malware program…malware…

    The issue is you are sending improper get requests back to server…

    Scapegoated, have you found a resolution to this issue? I have been having similar problems with my WP site since adding WordFence and W3 Total Cache. I’ve since tried removing both from WP and the problem persists. Like you, I’ve tried it from multiple computers, multiple OS and multiple browsers all to no avail.
