    There is a very good chance your host has installed a add-on for apache called mod_security.

    ModSecurityTM is an open source intrusion detection and prevention engine for web applications (or a web application firewall). Operating as an Apache Web server module or standalone, the purpose of ModSecurity is to increase web application security, protecting web applications from known and unknown attacks.

    While mod_security can be a very powerful tool, misconfigured or overly strict rule sets can interfere with Operation. Below for Apache users you can use an htaccess file and add a specific rule to disable mod_security.

    Macman – all redone, and the problem is back!

    NOT ACCEPTABLE!

    I have read about a dozen websites that say this is caused by a software firewall, and suggest editing the .htaccess file, which I don’t want to do because it lets your defenses down.

    I am not sure what to do here….

    My website support fixed the issues. Fantatico created duplicates of every folder on the server which was causing most of my issues. WebKrib also took the liberty of reinstalling WordPress. However… I have no admin screen to login to…. Fantastico did it for me before, just asking for some basics like my webserver credentials and then what I wanted for a login name / password… How do I do this manually?

    UGH!
    You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first

    And tons of jibberish.

    Everything was empty. I deleted every trace of WordPress.

    Here is my whole raw directory listing in the root file / – am I missing something??

    NOW it’s working. The old Fantastic folder was wrecking havoc. I obliterated it. Once it’s installed, I’ll see if it functions right. Be back…

    Ugh. For some reason, the install is not transferring half the files, specifically, install.php and about 40 others despite me dragging them over to the ftp client.

    Here is a list of what actually went over just into WP_Admin:

    Folders:
    CSS
    IMAGES
    IMPORT
    INCLUDES
    JS
    MAINT

    Files In WP-ADMIN:
    rtl.css
    rtl.dev.css
    wp-admin.css
    wp-admin.dev.css

    That folder alone has 80 files not transferring.

    PS: Just got this in browser:
    install.php – No Such Directory or File…

    Interesting, I got all these RSS links on Dashboard doing something like this:

    RSS Error: WP HTTP Error: Could not open handle for fopen() to http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?scoring=d&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss&partner=wordpress&q=link:http://thedemonslayer.wkrib.com/public_html/

    Nothing activated yet. Both Akismet and Hello Dolly are off. This is starting to look like a fresh manual install without having Fantastico involved… I found the installation instructions rather confusing. Especially the editing of the Page.php file…

    Even deleted the old folders, still getting the same error.

    Ok, how about this one? Good grief….

    Not Acceptable

    An appropriate representation of the requested resource /public_html/wp-admin/media-upload.php could not be found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    I already tried replacing “media-upload.php” it still errors out, and only when going into my gallery and selecting “Insert Into Post”.

    Manually posting the link with image code works fine…

    EDIT:
    Ok, nevermind linking gets this AGAIN:
    Not Acceptable

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

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Is that the thing I have to edit? And if so, I really don’t understand the instructions for it. Further, should WordPress be installed in my public_html folder? Or should it be in the main folder since it’s my home page as well? I am wondering if that is where I went wrong….
