I installed this forum last night and it was working fine for me however a friend (who was using firefox) was having troubles registering...

Now today it is giving me trouble when I try to post, giving me this message:

Internet Explorer cannot read this webpage format
HTTP 406 
   What you can try:
     Go back to the previous page.

     More information

This error (HTTP 406 Not Acceptable) means that Internet Explorer was able to receive information from the website you visited, but the information was not in a format that Internet Explorer can display.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.





Can anyone help?

Could you contact your host to see if they are having problems?

What is a phpinfo() file?

invertigofreak

Sure. I have just emailed my host and will see what they say

I got the error when i registered in IE, but the registration process did go through.. wait and see what they say.

invertigofreak

oh sorry jerm I should have mentioned that.

It gives you the error message, but lets you register. The same with the posting. It gives the error message but the post still goes through

invertigofreak

A bit more info.

The ones it was telling me that for was when I had attachments. I have just tried posting without attachments and had no problems

How about your server error log?  If you have cPanel, login to your cPanel and click the Error Log icon/link.

There are some there, but I don't think any of them are related to this

I dont think they are related as the forum is installed in /catherine-forum

Is this issue solved or do you still require assistance?

Are you using the latest version of SMF?
Any Mods installed?
Are you using a custom theme?

Follow the instructions on the first post here on how to create the .htaccess file. See if that works.
