[Serena] On Indiewebify.me if I try to send a webmention it would time out. On MicroPub Rocks, it could also see the endpoints, but it wouldn't let me sign in but give me that "Not Acceptable!" error.
#
[Serena] I use Bluehost, and my Wordpress updated to WordPress 5.2 - if that makes any difference
#
GWG [Serena]: What exactly is going on?
#
[Serena] Well I first noticed this when I tried to log into IndieBookClub.biz yesterday:
#
[Serena] @GWC ^^^
#
gRegorLove Telegraph is probably better for the webmention-sending test
#
[Serena] I went to MicroPub Rocks to see what had broken, but I couldn't even log in, it gave me the same error as above
#
gRegorLove [Serena], What's the error you get signing in to indiebookclub, and what's your domain?
#
GWG [Serena]: gRegorLove is the genius behind Indiebookclub.biz
#
GWG Whereas I'm on the WordPress side
#
[Serena] domain: supine-owl.com
#
gRegorLove definitely not a genius, but thanks
#
[Serena] [gRegorLove] and I get the "Not Acceptable!" error
#
[Serena] Let me copy the exact wording
#
[Serena] and thanks @GWG [gRegorLove]
#
gRegorLove Aha, I see. It's "An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security." on the wp-json endpoint, GWG
#
[Serena] "Not Acceptable!
#
[Serena] An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security."
#
gRegorLove It's right after entering the domain and clicking login, no other interaction.
#
GWG Mod_security would be the hosting provider
#
GWG Nothing on the WordPress size.
#
gRegorLove URL is https://www.supine-owl.com/wp-json/indieauth/1.0/auth, query params look correct: redirect_uri, client_id, state, scope, response_type
#
GWG https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-acceptable-mod_security-error-after-i-hit-allow/
#
GWG This is the first thing that came up on a google search
#
GWG Different plugin
#
gRegorLove Ah, interesting
#
GWG But, mod_security is a hosting provider issue
#
GWG They are likely blocking something
#
GWG But they can analyze their logs and explain what
#
GWG We had another person with a mod_security issue blocking redirect_uri query strings
#
GWG [Serena]: You used to have another domain, right?
#
[Serena] Yeah, but the site is on the same host.
#
[Serena] I'll need to talk to Bluehost about this - I can only hope they would be willing to do something.
#
gRegorLove They probably can. It could be the length of the query params, or that there's a URI in them
#
[Serena] Curious to know where everybody else host their WP sites.
#
GWG I have my own VPS
#
GWG I am seeing this from bluehost a lot in a search
#
gRegorLove We should add what we find to /Bluehost
#
Loqi +1
#
GWG Can you keep us posted?
#
[Serena] Me?
#
GWG Yes
#
[Serena] So I've contacted their technical team and they said they've created a ticket for me; they said they need a higher level specialist to look into it and get back to me. I'll let you know when I hear back from them.
#
GWG Great
