Can’t create categories

    I have done my first install of wordpress on a server I work with and I have a problem.

    The Blog works fine, except that I can’t create any categories or tags. I can make posts, but nothing happens when I press the button to create a category or tag.

    The only error message I find is in the Apache log, and it is this:

    ModSecurity: Access denied with code 501 (phase 1). Match of “rx (?:^(?:application/x-www-form-urlencoded$|multipart/form-data;)|text/xml)” against “REQUEST_HEADERS:Content-Type” required. [id “960010”] [msg “Request content encoding is not allowed by policy”] [severity “WARNING”] [hostname “rain.org”] [uri “/endlessvoyage/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php”] [unique_id “MWDML38AAAEAAGZcOygAAAAW”]

    I do not have a lot of mod experience with Apache, so I’m not sure what ‘policy’ the error is talking about.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Have you tried contacting your hosts?

    This is my own setup of Apache; the hosts don’t help with configuration on it.

    Okay, I see this policy in the modsecurity conf files.
    I assume I need to add an additional setting to be allowed, but I don’t know what it is.
    I’m not familiar with AJAX
