Style and Plugin Upload Problem (vb 3.7.2)

When I try to upload a style I get this message:

Code:

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /admincp/template.php could not be found on this server

When I try to upload a plugin (such as vbseo 3.2) I get this message:

Code:

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /admincp/plugin.php could not be found on this server

I checked and the files are there. I reinstalled vb 3.7.2 and I still have the same problem.

Here's my forum link if it helps:
AspieMania

this is a 406 error from apache's mod_security feature.


IMO, rebuild apache without mod security. it's more trouble than its worth.


Another option would be t try adding this to htaccess:

Code:

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

After doing that, now I get this message when uploading a style:

"No file uploaded and no local file found."

hrm, check your /tmp directory paths

What am I searching for in /tmp?

nothing, you're looking for the vb oiption for path to temp file under server settings and optimization in vb options. perhaps /tmp isn't correct, or you have safemode or or something else weird.

It's set as /tmp which does exist on my server.

Try adding this to your .htaccess:

Code:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
   SecFilterEngine Off
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Make sure it's in your forums directory.

at this point, i think your best course of action is to either get support from vB themselves, or your hosting provider. there's something weird on your server that's causing this.
