HTTP Error when uploading image (crunching)

  • Guys,
    I’ve read hundreds of topics on WP support, but none worked for me. Until I did something silly. Okay lemme explain:

    1) I logged in with “admin”, tried to upload image, but when it was crunching I got the pesky “HTTP Error”.
    2) I logged in with another admin user account, tried to upload the SAME image to the SAME article, and BAM, it worked.

    Then I thought I need to change the “admin” username to something else. I created a new admin username, deleted “admin” and tried again. Bummer. HTTP Error.

    I logged in back to the admin username that allowed me to upload the images, and created editors and new admins. NONE of them worked.

    Anyone to please shed some light over this? I’m going crazy in here and it makes NO sense.

    ps: yes, I am talking about the flash uploader

  • Try adding this to your .htaccess file in the root of your site:

    <IfModule mod_security.c> <Files async-upload.php> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </Files> </IfModule>

    I’m having the exact same problem, alex. This code doesn’t work for me. Did it work for you? Any other suggestions? I’ve found NOTHING in these forums except the same advice that doesn’t work.

    i am having a similar issue. i can upload images, but when i got to upload an mp3 it gives me that error. when i told my co-writer, he tried using his account and he was able to upload either perfectly fine. not sure what is going on. i’ve tried various “fixes” from this forum and none of them seem to work.

    What host are you using? I just resolved my problem:

    I needed to “upgrade” to pHp5 with 1and1.com. I simply pasted the following code above # Begin WordPress in the .htaccess file.

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

    Hopefully this will help someone else in need!!!

    i tried that and it breaks my editing function, so i guess my host isn’t using php5

    I have absolutely no solution for now ??

    It’s a dedicated rig — well optimized one!

    A friend set up our WP account. I’ve been able to upload all kinds of mp3s til about 2 days ago, when I foolishly hit the ‘upgrade now’ button. I don’t have WP downloaded on my computer. I went to GoDaddy & uploaded 3 songs “the back way” and was able to get one to upload, but I keep getting the http error in the Flash uploader and the “500 error” the other way. This is really frustrating, other than this issue I’ve really enjoyed working with this program. I’m looking forward to your help.
