 * Im having a big problem trying to post code to my blog.
    I’ve used it with rich
   text editor on and off – same problem.
 * Im using the latest version and everything else works fine.
 * For example if I try and post some javascript it give me a Internal Server error.
   But If I post just plain text it works fine.
 * I’ve check my .htaccess file – but that is empty!!
 * I’ve also tried to add print_r($_GET);die; at the top of post.php in the admin
   but that also gets the same error.
 * Im running it on Fedora with Apache and using the latest version of wordpress(
   not an upgrade).
 * Not sure what us happening here, any ideas???

   a XML error (try search, the when no results are found try the same search in
   the bigger search box)

 * OK – It’s obviously not a big problem to many people yet.
 * If anyone is interested – reason for this problem is due to an apache module 
   which is becoming more popular – called mod_security. This security feature prevents
   certain words from being accepted into the Server.
 * To solve this, update the mod_security conf file – or add new rules to a folders.
   htaccess file (you can disable per directory).
 * Search google for ‘mambo mod_security’ there is a good forum post on how to do
   this.
