strange message "Not Acceptable! ..."

skippy1729 · 08-16-2014, 01:17 PM

Not sure if this problem is fron OS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Firefox 23.0 or the site I am trying to access. I have accessed this site without problems in the past.

message reads:

Not Acceptable!

An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.

Thanks for any help.

Nothing like "Word Press" or "mod_security" installed (or I can't find it).

Post the full output of a 'curl -I' and a 'curl -kv' of the full URI you're trying to access?

What's a "curl -i" and "curl -kv"?

'which curl && man curl'.

Usually when someone posts a question like "Post the output of curl -I" in a GNU/Linux context, they mean to open a terminal and type the command, then post the relevant output in response, like...

Code:

# curl -I linuxquestions.org

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx
Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2014 22:59:42 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Connection: keep-alive
Keep-Alive: timeout=45
Location: http://www.linuxquestions.org/

The second part...

Code:

which curl && man curl

Means that if curl is installed on your system (as seen by which curl), then read the man page for curl (man curl) to see how it works.

I am also using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and Firefox 23.0. Various websites give me the same message as you.

If I use Midori, I have no problem.

I think this problem has only affected me since the beginning of the year, and appears to be growing.

If I try to access, for example, http://www.foxyinks.com I get the "Not Acceptable!" message.

If I use Midori, I have no problem.

curl -I www.foxyinks.com

If I use validator.w3.org on www.foxyinks.com, I get this output.
"167 Errors, 85 warning(s)"
Could that be relevant?
