http error in media uploader

OK, I read more about solutions proposed here an elsewhere and installing https://github.com/getsource/default-to-gd plugin worked for me.
I guess image magik is old on hosting and WP8 wants a recent one.

I can tell you first hand – that the problem is in fact both. With the change of WP versions, updating, etc. as WELL as server settings, specifically PHP that you need to modify, or have your host modify your php settings.

Customers that are hosted on cloudlinux operating systems generally have the ability to manipulate the versions of php (from 4.4 to 5.6, if their host has installed them all) and that includes settings, upload size, memory limit, path to the tmp folders, you name it – its there. Its easy to do so and it saves time. Especially if you’re coming from another host that used a different version of PHP.

On all my servers, I run the cloulinux with the php selector – and both on my end as the systems admin and the end user, we are all happy. When something comes up – there’s no editing any .htaccess file or php.ini file – this will take care of it, along with changing versions of php on the fly. Every single customer can run a different version of php and it has no effect on the others – making it basically flawless.

To that point – as I said, this problem stems from WP with their updates to the core, and it relies upon the server you are hosted upon. Don’t make the mistake of thinking its not both, because it likely is, or at least a good possibility, but the majority of the time, its a simple setting that can be changed within PHP.

Hello Guys,

i have a strange problem, related to this post,

i tried to upload images and its gave me http error but the images uploaded correctly to my server!!!! i can download it easily using FTP, and the images not displayed on my webpage,

thanks for help, and i tried all permissions, seems the
problem in database

I too am having the problem that mohdsh85 describes; after this last weekend, whenever I try to upload images using either the standard media file uploader, I get an http error, but the image file IS uploaded. No error is shown when I use the browser uploader, though the browser shows a blank page, but the file IS uploaded. No record is created for the media in the posts table and the additional versions of the image file are not created. While I can work around this, I’m trying to determine why it has suddenly started occurring in an environment where all of this has worked…

Same issue here. Files are uploaded to the directory and can be downloaded via FTP. However I receive an error message (HTTP Error) in wordpress when uploading and they don’t appear in the library.

Help?

unchecking imagick in php extensions (cpanel) seems to have done the trick for me – thanks j2l. presumably wp then falls back on gd. hooray, this had been so frustrating!

Thanks j2l, the imagick solved the problem for me to after trying everything else.

The steps i took in WHM

1.Go to “Software ?Module Installers”
2.Click on “Manage” for “PHP Pecl”
3.Search for “Imagick”
4.Even if Imagick shows as not installed it can still be installed, so click on install, if it is installed it will tell you it is already installed, so when you search for it again it will show as installed this time, you click on uninstall.
5.Restart Apache

you can even see if imagick or other modules enabled in php by creating a file call it whatever.php and include the following line in it

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

upload it to the root of your WP domain and enter it through your browser, it will show you in detail everything in php, hope it helps.
