406 Not Acceptable

Error received...
Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /administration/news.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 tried adding SecFilterEngine off to .htaccess but this caused a Server 500 error.
Anyone come across this?
I've contacted the host, but maybe there's an easy fix??

Googleing "htaccess secfilterengine 406" gives lot of hits but most suggest you should do what Archer writes.

Most of the time a file or folder just needs to be changed to not be writable by group.

It only seems to affect admin/news.php which is weird. All file & folder permissions are as they should be.
As I said in first post I tried editing .htaccess but it caused another error.
The host recently did some server maintenance so I'm guessing it's at their end. I added the news item directly into the DB so no worries for now :)

That is because there is no module SecFilterEngine.
Quote
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
</IfModule>
When using the IfModule command it checks wether it is present, and if present execute the command.
On some servers though you need to use 0 or 1 instead of Off or On.
So you may try that.
Are you sure there are not any rewrite rules affecting news.php (in whatever directory)?

Check the ownership of that file, logged in as root via SSH.
