    Hi there,

    I am a complete PHP and WP noob and I am having an issue with uploading media to my WP installation on a 1&1 linux account. Whenever I try to upload a photo using the flash uploader I get this error: https://twitpic.com/psc25 and when I upload them via the browser option I get this error: https://twitpic.com/psc5y. However, after I get this error I can go to the gallery tab and see that they are there. I try to put them into a post and publish it but the photo does not show up in my post.

    On a side note, I haven’t been able to auto upgrade to 2.8.6. When I try it just says “unpacking” and never completes. I can see in my FTP window that the file is getting delivered to the server but isn’t being properly utilized.

    my site is https://www.whitehotphoenix.com

    Thank you for your help!

    With regard to your upgrade problems, try adding:

    `AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

    to the .htaccess file in your WordPress directory.

    Thanks for the reply, I’ll try these solutions.

    That .htaccess addition should be:

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

    No initial backtick.

    Thank you… that is absolutely awesome. I am so much of a noob that I added that line to my htaccess file and got a site wide internal 500 error. I quickly undid the changes and got it back but I thought it was just because I didn’t know what I was doing. ??

    Awesome, fixed my upgrade problem. Badass! I’ll keep working on the image thing. I think it might be the images I’m using because I’ve discovered that some work and others don’t. Thanks again!

    You need to upload RGB images – not CMYK.

    Adding the PHP5 line to htaccess helped me — thought this host was already using PHP5, didn’t think to check. Thanks.
