having 406 error in wordpress blog : mod_security Prb

[bluearrow]

I'm getting this 406 error in my blog. I read about this and learned that this error is related to Apache mod called "mod_security".

I tried to turn it off for my site using .htaccess file by

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

But it didn't work. So how to get this sort this out ?

Asking Hosting provider to turn it off is out of question .Already asked but they don't want. I was told they are trying to find a way to sort this out but it takes time and im having a blog full of errors which wont be great for my Google ranking...

Probably, this feature is disabled anf you cannot change mod_security settings with help of .htaccess.
Just contact your webhosting provider and as them to put the lines

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

in your apache's virtual host
