Http error on image upload?

  • I’m setting up a site with WordPress. I get the dreaded red “Http error.” after uploading larger images. This isn’t really a problem for me, as I can just resize before uploading. However, the plan is for me to teach someone else to update the site, including adding pictures to it. That means it would be really nice if I could solve this, so they can upload images of any size and just let WP resize the images.

    I’ve tried adding this to the root WP .htaccess file:

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

    and tried putting this in the wp-admin .htaccess:

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

    And nothing seems to change anything/help. Anyone have any other ideas? Being a brand-new site, its got minimal plugins and just one theme: Suffusion. So I’m thinking the issue is elsewhere, but where to look?
