Upload HTTP Error on upload

Hi Tadobi@gmail.com,

I am having the same issue, and if you have spent the last two days trawling Google as I have, you will see that this issue has been intermiten for quite some years!

Below is a list of things I have tried and hasn’t worked for me, but might work for you:

1. Make sure you are running the latest version of flash for your browser.

2. Turn off the flash uploader: http://www.chewie.co.uk/general/wordpress-image-upload-http-error/

3. Edit you htaccess file to amend mod_security access: </IfModule>
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

4. Changing permissions on the image upload folders to 777 (A security risk in it’s own right!)

My quest continues… I will post back here if I find a permanent fix.

Would mind telling me what set up you are running, for example; what version of WP and what host you are using and what server – linux/windows, dedicated/shared/vps/

Hi Tadobi,

Glad one of them worked for you. I am wondering whether I have not edited my htaccess file correct, is this what you have got?

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

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

# END WordPress

Thanks Tadobi, let me know if it breaks again. Might then discover the culprit!
