HTTP Error Code 406, Not Acceptable

Web browsers request information from the server by sending an Accept header. If the server can't provide the data in the format specified in the Accept header, it returns a 406 Not Acceptable error.

Reasons for a 406 Error During Data Migration

A 406 error can arise due to your server's mod_security rules. Mod_security is an Apache web server security module often enabled by default on hosting accounts. If a site, page, or function violates these rules, the server might return a 406 error during the data migration process.

How to Resolve 406 Errors During Data Migration

You can try disabling mod_security. You might also be able to disable a specific rule or disable it for a specific domain within your control panel.

Note: The option to enable/disable mod_security might not be available in your cPanel or on dedicated servers. In such cases, use the command line via SSH or contact your tech support.
