 * Hello,
    I have very strange problem recently. I cannot login to my website admin
   panel of wordpress from work/home pc. [http://www.kampun.com/wp-admin](http://www.kampun.com/wp-admin)
 * The error message is –
 * _“Not Acceptable!
    An appropriate representation of the requested resource could
   not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod\_Security.”
 * But I can login using my friend’s office desktop. Both places are having different
   ISPs. I have checked that using Google Translate, I can see there is not any 
   error but it loads correctly but unfortunately I cannot login using Google Translate.
   
   Few weeks ago, I had the same problem but at that time I had realised that it
   was created by W3 total caching plugin and I have removed/deactivated the same
   and fixed that time. But currently I don’t remember any new changes I have made
   and no guess to fix the same. I have tried to rename the plugin folder to some
   other name using FILE MANAGER from CPanel and tried to get the default login 
   page but that didn’t help to login. Any guess how to fix ? Please help on priority
   as I cannot work on my website.

 * Hi,
 * Maybe you should ask your web host to check MOD_SECURITY log files to find out
   what’s causing the problem and maybe disable that rule if it’s some kind of false
   positives.
