My fix explained below....

I got this on my new installation (Fireboard 1.04 with Joomla 1.5.6 production stable on PHP 5.2.5 with SEO/mod rewrite and my fix was easy (! other than the 3 hours to find the bug)...

In the com_fireboard/template/default/post.php

where ever I found the "setTimeout("location...etc etc

e.g.

setTimeout("location='<?php echo sefRelToAbs(JB_LIVEURLREL.'&func=view&catid='.$catid.'&id='.$pid).'#'.$pid;?>'", 3500);

I added html_entity_decode to that e.g.,

setTimeout("location='<?php echo html_entity_decode(sefRelToAbs(JB_LIVEURLREL.'&func=view&catid='.$catid.'&id='.$pid)).'#'.$pid;?>'", 3500);

There are around 12 times that timeouts are used. I changed them all. Do it by hand rather than a search+replace as you need to close that () in different places.

Fixed for me. YMMV.

Also in view.php (around like 277 and 1340) I had to remove htmlspecialchars from the forumtop and forumbottom as that also (though slightly differently formatted) created weird URL with &amp;amp; in it.

Has anyone encountered this error with FB 1.0.5 RC1?

I have a new Joomla 1.5.7 install with FB and the 406 Error shows up after posts.

The post.php file has been rewritten since 1.0.4 and I can find no setTimeOut functions. I am not very PHP literate, but I know how to make code changes when necessary.

If anyone has ideas, I would be grateful for your input here.

Thanks,
Jason

I read in another post about someone who was able to get their hosting service to exempt their site from an apache security setting to solve the problem.

I enquired with my host and received the following reply:

Access denied with code 406 (phase 2). Pattern match "(?:b(?: (?:n(?:et(?:bW+?blocalgroup|.exe)|(?:map|c).exe)|t(?:racer(?:oute|t)|elnet.exe|clsh8?|ftp)|(?:w(?:guest|sh)|rcmd|ftp).exe|echobW*?by+)b|c(?:md(?: (?:32)?.exeb|bW*?/c)|d(?:bW*?[\/]|W*?..)|hmod.{0,40}?+.{0,3}x))|[;|`]W*? ..." at ARGS_NAMES:amp;id. [file "/usr/local/apache/conf/modsec2.user.conf"] [line "89"] [id "950006"] [msg "System Command Injection. Matched signature <;id>"] [severity "CRITICAL"]

If there is anyone reading this that can understand this response and suggest a fix, I would be grateful. I think there are many others who would also benefit.

Thank you,
Jason

This is the first time I see this come up with 1.0.5. I will cehck out the proposed fix for 1.0.4 and will add it to 1.0.5 if it proves to be working.

Thanks for your response.

Feel free to check out the live site at http://www.chsreunion.info if that is helpful.
