   I just set up WP 2.0 and everything is going fine, except for file uploads. No matter which image I pick to upload, I get an error:

   "File is empty. Please upload something more substantial."

   Any ideas?

   Thanks-
   Bill

   Try a different browser. I think WP is using whatever the browser claims as the file size when it gives that error.

   Thanks for the reply. I tried Safari, Firefox, and Opera, and all give the same result. There is nothing in my apache error_log that indicates a problem. This is very puzzling.

   Note to self: it helps if file_uploads are on.

   D'oh.

   So how do you turn on the file_uploads?

   I'm having the same problem myself with importing an rss file.

   I'm having this issue on one server with a new install.. uploads work like a charm on my other server. Any leads on this?

   Permissions are wide open, but "File is empty. Please upload something more substantial." is still a constant companion.

   Yay! This solved my problem too, once I figured out what wjdennen was talking about.

   The site's PHP.ini had file_uploads set to OFF.

   D'oh indeed!

   ps: You can check your site's setting with a quick <? phpinfo() ?>. I created a new page with just that command.
