 * Not Acceptable
    An appropriate representation of the requested resource /wp-admin/
   admin-ajax.php could not be found on this server.
 * Apache/1.3.37 Server at 2sided.net Port 80
 * I get that error when I try to delete news posts, I recently moved hosts, and
   wanted to delete the “Hello Wor’d” Topic that automatically was made when I installed
   WP.
 * My website is [http://www.2sided.net](http://www.2sided.net) btw, if that helps.
   Any ideas how to fix it?

 * Just search for that error message (admin-ajax) and it will make miracles.
 * It’s related to some security settings on your host, if I remember well.

 * I searched and read 4 topics, one which talked about editing the .htacess file
   in wp-admin, well I did that and it didnt help. I looked at other solutions and
   they didnt help either. I think wordpress should fix this, since other people
   have the same problem, and release it as a critical update.

 * _I think wordpress should fix this_
 * Maybe, but I am not “wordpress”, sorry. This is a forum run by volunteers, not
   by the developers.

 * Did I say you were “wordpress”? No, I was simply stating my opinion. Anyways,
   still no luck.

 * hmm did you use fantistico to install wordpress or FTP? you may now have the 
   correct permissions on the files and directories. this happens when webhosts 
   don’t keep their scripts up to date.
 * It also would not hurt to talk to the webhosting company and make sure that support
   the correct version of PHP and mysql required by wordpress (refer to the wordpress
   docs)
 * also consider that the hello WORLD is inside the database, so if you imported
   your old database you would have your old posts and the hello world would be 
   gone 🙂
 * Peace..

 * Yes, I did use fantastico to install it. What should I do? And Hello world was
   on WP when I installed, then I imported my old WP Backup and Hello World was 
   still there.

 * Can I bump this please, I am yet to find a solution. I tried editing the .htacess
   file but no luck.

 * Thats clearly mod_security. And if the other threads you read mentioned it, and
   provided the proper fix, then they have already pointed you in the right direction.

 * I ran into this error a few weeks ago, and pasting this into my .htaccess file
   seems to do the trick:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
       SecFilterEngine Off
       SecFilterScanPOST Off
       </IfModule>
       ```
