   I know there have been tons of Image Upload HTTP error posts but I've noticed they're all for WP versions under 3.0. I decided to make a new one because it has gotten confusing to swim through all the solutions and threads.

   Problem:
   - Gets HTTP error when uploading image files bigger than 200kb.
   - Upload percent goes all the way to 100% and to "Crunching..."
   - Flash uploader says "HTTP error"
   - Browser uploader opens page that says "Internal Server Error"
   - Uploader worked fine a month before prior to current situation
   - There was at one point it said "I/O error" but not appearing anymore

   The things I've tried that didn't work:
   - Re-installed WP 3.1
   - Updated to WP 3.2
   - Revert back to twenty ten and twenty eleven themes
   - Disabled all plugins
   - Tried the various .htaccess solutions
   - Changed permissions to /uploads to 777
   - Recreated upload situation in Mozilla and Safari in Mac
   - Recreated upload situation in Mozilla and IE in Windows
   - Deleted /uploads and tried uploading everything again
   - Recreated images into new files then upload
   - Made an alternative folder for uploads
   - Contacted my host to see if any changes to my server

   My PHP specs:
   PHP 5.1.56, 32mb memory limit, 10mb max filesize upload
   input time: 60, execution time 30

   Help?

   If you are running the No SSL Flash Upload Plugin because your site uses SSL, then it causes the HTTP Error in WP 3.2, as I have just discovered.

   I assume that the WP devs patched the I/O error that was occurring before. Anyway, I hope that helps you.

   I've been having the same problem as hiccoughs and have also tried most of the same 'fixes' and am now receiving the error: Unable to create director… Is its parent directory writable by the server?

   This seems to be an ongoing issue… any other ideas??

   Having the same issue, and am gone down the same path as the fixes mentioned above.

   I can upload up to 12Mb, anything larger throws HTTP Error or 500 Error.

   Is this a common error for 3.1/3.2?

   I have the same problem, on a local dev site on XAMPP.
   WP3.2.1
   Latest XAMPP
   I get it on one site only, I have other sites on my local dev - they can upload.
   Happens in all browsers
   Tried all solutions above, still get the HTTP error.
   Browser uploader works fine, only flash uploadr gives this error.

   Issue fixed after checking with web hosting setting.

   "Found the problem, basically the wordpress plugin triggered the mod security.

   Access denied with code 406 (phase 2). Pattern match "^Shockwave Flash" at REQUEST_HEADERS:User-Agent. [file "/usr/local/apache/conf/modsec2.user.conf"] [line "203"]

   I have bypass the shockwave security."

   So you may check with your hosting provider to change that setting.

   Hope it work for you!

   Hey ideaonly,

   Your post brought me the answer.
   I just had a look in the .htaccess file in my root-folder of my webspace.
   In there was written the following:

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

   So then I un-commented or activated the text to the following:
   <IfModule mod_security.c>
   <Files async-upload.php>
   SecFilterEngine Off
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
   </Files>
   </IfModule>

   And now I can upload images without any problems and errors.

   Best regards, Alex

   @Hockeyfreak, hope your steps also work for other bloggers :)

    Well, that .htaccess didn't solve it for me :(
    I tried to use these .htaccess rules, but no use.
    I also do not use the mod.sec.
    My issue occurs on a localhost dev environement using XAMPP.
    I tried all the fixes, but no matter what I do, I still get that HTTP Error message.
    Any other ideas?

    Thanks,
    Maor

    @maorb, have you tried other php environment, like wamp?

    @ideaonly, I haven't tried WAMP or other local env, but this issue is happening only in one local site, and in others it is ok.
    I thought it is something in the WP installation/plugins/theme - so I reinstalled WP and created a new local domain for it, also disabled all plugins. Then it worked fine for one time, and the next time the issue came back. It is very weird...

    I have another thread on this opened som time ago:
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/localhost-install-http-error-on-image-upload?replies=4#post-2250473

    I am using Mowes Portable to run live site on localhost for testing upgrades - just like maorb with Xampp.

    And just like him, I am unable to upload - both upoladers!

    There seems to be some sort of location mismatch, so the files are unable to be saved, and thus the failed upload.

    My environment is running on Win7 x64, btw.

    I'm happy to see there are more with the same issue, so perhaps someone comes along with a solution...?

    What's with the "link" button here anyway? It doesn't work!

    Yes it does. Enter your text, highlight it, enter the link url and select OK. Bare urls are turned into links automatically.

    What happened to me was that if I enter link using the link-button and place it before text - all the remaining text is made clickable.

    If I insert the link at the end of the post - no text following, the url is not visible.

    I tried maaaany times, until my post was classified too old to edit. I then then resorted to simply pasting the link itself as text. Fortunately this was made an active link, so the link-button is not needed.

    Hockeyfreak solved this for me!

    My htaccess file didn't have the code he suggested at all, commented out or otherwise - I simply pasted in the code after whatever was already there and it works! I've added it to all my WordPress sites!

    I would say this might be a host by host problem and you might have to find your own fix, but luckily so far all the sites with problems are sites I resell hosting for with the same host.

    Again, this is what I pasted to fix my http error:
    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

    Thanks!

    I also added this to the bottom of my standard WordPress permalinks .htaccess file and it worked:

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

    Hope this helps others too.

    Thanks Hockeyfreak

    This .htaccess modification still has no affect. Really need this one sorted out, WordPress.

    This .htaccess modification fixed my HTTP error problem on a WP hosted on lunarpages.com.

    Hey,
    I have the same problem. But it just happens because my wordpress folder in cpanel is password protected. When I remove password protection, it works fine.
    So check your wordpress installed directory and make sure it is not password protected.

    Thanks Libin,

    Sometimes the solution is too easy to see. :)

    I had a password protection via .htaccess enabled. The problem disappeared when i removed the password protection.

    Thanks!

    In my case it was the simple:press AND the wordbooker plugin.

    I had the same problem and I think it was the smush.it plugin (though it could have been a host of others, including Akismet, because it was working on and off)

    Smush.it plugin was my issue, I just started having this issue after installing it.... deactivated and I can upload images fine again.

    It was Smush.it for me as well - however, I have had Smush.it for a while and it operated just fine until the latest WP roll-out. Apparently, it's not compatible with the latest build. I hope they fix that soon. Smush.it is a pretty valueable plug-in
