I just created a new forum and when I go to Modify Boards and then press the category (modify) button, I get this error. What could be causing this?


Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /index.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.

This is a problem with mod_security...
It's a host issue with having misconfigured their system...  However,

There is a list around here which contains a potential fix for it... (Use search?)

sorry...  darned autocorrect. I meant "host" not "heist". :)

And yes, NanoSector has pointed to the wiki...  but the Wiki has not been updated to include the possible patch yet.

Now that I am back to a real computer, I found the patch post...
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=529761.msg3760761#msg3760761

Try installing the attachment there into the package manager, like any other mod... and see if that solves your issue.

Yup, all indications seem to be that that patch does actually fix the issue that hadn't been an issue for best part of a decade until mod_security decided to flag ;cat and/or cat; in the URL.

Side note: Wiki is now updated to suggest using that attachment patch.
