[2.x] Image upload suddenly stopped working

1 Apr 15, 2008 10:46    

My b2evolution Version: 2.4.1

I'm running 2.4.1 on my domain http://hellem.org/blog and have used the image upload for a while now. Was about to upload an image today when I got the following error

Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /blog/admin.php could not be found on this server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.36 Server at hellem.org Port 80

I know that I have not done anything since yesterday evening when I uploaded the previous picture, so does anyone have any idea of why this has started to happen?

Neither the "Quick upload" or any of the other upload functions does work

A bit more info: About 24 hours ago I did rename the sample.htaccess to .htaccess. But I'm not able to see any connections there, and if so, I guess the error should have appeared at once yesterday, not the day after...

Found the following explanation of 406 Not Acceptable at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

Must admit I have a hard time understanding what this is and what I can do

10.4.7 406 Not Acceptable

The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request.

Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice MAY be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection.

Note: HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to return responses which are
not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the
request. In some cases, this may even be preferable to sending a
406 response. User agents are encouraged to inspect the headers of
an incoming response to determine if it is acceptable.

If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further actions.

Try reverting the .htaccess change. It could be related indeed.

Otherwise, b2evo does not generate any 406 responses anywhere, so the problem is most probably with Apache configuration.

This is something you could ask your host tech support to fix.

I tried to revert the .htaccess-file, and have not waited about 24 hours (just to be very, very sure) but that did not help. I will send an email to my ISP and ask if they have changed something on the server the past days...

But, I also noticed that a workaround is to just upload the pictures with FTP, they will then be available via the admin console as if they where uploaded with the "quick upload" button
