General Settings not saving. Failed to load resource…

  • I have the problem that the general (wp-admin/options-general.php) and writing (wp-admin/options-writing.php) settings not saving. Other settings works fine.

    In both cases a file options.php get downloaded. In this file is only the 503 error code: 

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>503 Service Unavailable</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Service Unavailable</h1>
<p>The server is temporarily unable to service your
request due to maintenance downtime or capacity
problems. Please try again later.</p>
</body></html>

    The permissions of all options php in wp-admin is 755.
    I have removed everything from the functions.php in my theme also everything in the htaccess, with no effect. Also deactivating the plugins.

    WP Version is 4.9.6
    PHP 7.1 (no changes on php 5.6)

    Please ask your host if they’re running mod_security and, if so, they can turn it off briefly so you can see if that’s what’s causing your problem.

    Thanks, the fast try with 

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

    dosen’t help, but maybe the host block this. I will try that our client can check the hoster settings.
