   Hello! I just installed WordPress 3.0 and am receiving the 'HTTP Error' when I upload images with the flash uploader. I tried using the basic uploader and receive the message 'Error 500 - Internal server error An internal server error has occured!
   Please try again later.'

   I have read pretty much every forum thread about various HTTP errors while uploading images, and have tried all the fixes, but none have worked so far. I do not have an .htaccess file, so I created one in TextEdit, inserted the code:
   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   # END WordPress

   (as instructed on http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Using_.22Pretty.22_permalinks)

   I saved this as .htaccess, uploaded via FTP, and then I loses access to my site (and am given the 'Error 500- Internal Server Error message).

   I have manipulated the code various ways as instructed on different forums, but none fix the problem. (AddType x-mapp-php5 .php) (AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
   AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php) (SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off)

   When I delete the .htaccess file I can get into my site again, but then of course I am back to my original problem of the HTTP Error while uploading images.

   I use 1and1 and they are running MySQL 5. (And I use Mac OSX 10.4.11 if that matters at all!)

   I am wondering if I need to edit something in the .htaccess file? (I know absolutely nothing about this or its function.) My site is http://www.marenmisner.com/wordpress -does it matter that it is not my index page? (I don't think, anyway.) Please help!! Thanks!

   1and1 fixed the problem! The .htaccess code needed was:
   AddType x-mapp-php5 .php .php4

   So I had been missing the '4' off the end of the code. After I emailed support, they got back to me within 30 minutes and fixed it. Very pleased with their customer service. Photos are uploading correctly!

   I am having this problem and I am also with 1 and 1. I had this problem previously on another site and had added the .htaccess file (just like in your OP) and all was good. This is NOT working now. I guess I need to add the AddType x-mapp-php5 .php .php4 line, but where to add it? I will test it and post back. I think others would find it helpful to see the exactly what that .ht file should look like.

   Ok, not sure if it really matters WHERE (you originally said end of file so that's what I did) - AND IT WORKED :)

   So for anyone else looking around, here's my .htaccess file:

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

   AddType x-mapp-php5 .php .php4

   YAY!!! :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :)

   Another thing that can interfere with the flash uploader is password protection, ie. if you have something like:

   AuthType Basic
   Require valid-user
   etc etc...

   in your .htaccess file.
   Had my site on a testing server and was wondering what was going on here for ages!
   Hope that helps someone.

    I had this problem and turning safe mode off worked for me. Just another option if the htaccess solution doesn't work for you.

    Wow, this was a HUGE help! I also have 1and1 as my hosting service and have had the same problem uploading images.

    Thanks!
