# 406 Error

 * I run 1.3-a4 and all seems smooth, until I tried to post with the main body of
   the text containing the word/phrase “.htaccess” this caused a 406 error with 
   the description: “An appropriate representation of the requested resource /wp-
   admin/post.php could not be found on this server.”
    It turns out that removing
   the . from the front solves the problem, still, a weird one.

 * I got the same error by trying to say “form data” inside a comment. I changed
   it to just “data” and it went through. The full comment is here:

 * It’s nice that removing the . solved the problem, but now you don’t have a .htaccess
   file. You should see if everything else is working correctly.
