406 Error "not Acceptable"

[Etanisla]

I've suddenly started getting 406 "Not Acceptable" errors from some pages in my site.

 

I haven't changed any language settings, nor made any changes to the WordPress blogging engine.

 

I've googled the error, but all the fixes I've seen apply to Apache 2.x, so I'm not quite sure what to check next.

 

Any ideas?

There were some changes made to combat some MT comment spam, which, as I understand it, was just an interim solution to keep servers running. You can submit a ticket to hte Help Desk to have it looked at though, please include as many details as possible. =)

In that case, I'm not going to kick dust. The only people complaining (so far), are the spambots and myself. And my problem is more cosmetic that functional. I'm just not getting the acknowledgement page when I change options, but the changes are made anyway.

 

I'll keep logs of the IPs that get 406 errors, and sit tight for now.

 

I'd rather the MT folks get that reprieve from the spambots.

 

Death to spambots!

*grins* like I said, I think that's temporary - but I'm betting the techs would like to know who/how much it's effecting. So you may want to submit the ticket just as info if you get a chance. =)
