I am having the same issue with a new install of WordPress. For me the file progress bar finishes and I am left with a generic file icon. I can see these icons click on them and even add them occasionally into a post but I alway get an ‘HTTP error’ every time. The files seem to be in my ‘uploads’ folder on my server even though I have deleted them all via the media manager, so that is a bit annoying as well as now I have loads of random files on the server which are not appearing in my media manager. ??

Hi catukf in all honesty I cannot really remember, I think I gave up and switched to ExpressionEngine however I did ask a colleague at the time and I believe he new the reason why so I have asked him again. If he comes back with anything I will be sure to add it here for you. All the best.

Thanks as I say I am not a developer so it might as well be in Chinese. Is there no documentation anywhere that is more step by step?

Thanks very much for your response… I think everything was installed correctly. Just a basic install and I followed a screen cast, however it did not mention anything about changing permissions on the wp-content directory.

Is there anywhere I can go to get a step by step guide to local install with Mac OS and MAMP? I am not a developer and I do find a lot of these concepts confusing.

The dialogue message is asking me for:

Hostname

FTP Username

FTP Password

Being that I am running a local install on MAMP does anyone know what sort of info is needed here so I can get an idea what it is asking me for? I would appreciate any feedback.
