   This is a brand new server- latest Apache, latest MySQL, latest PHP, latest WordPress.

   I know this is a common topic. Lots of different ideas have been posted, different .htaccess configurations, uri rewriting, etc.
   I tried EVERYTHING I could find. This is a private server, running at home. I have full access to everything. Nothing has helped.

   php.ini has 256M of memory allocated.

   It does not make a difference if I use the flash uploaded or the browser uploaded. It does not make a difference if I use ie or FireFox.

   The 'crunching' progress bar runs all the way to the end, and then I get the http error message.
   httpd-error.log does not log anything.
   httpd-access.log logs the following:
   "POST /wp-admin/async-upload.php HTTP/1.1" 500 - "-" "Shockwave Flash"

   Here's the thing:
   This only seems to happen with some images.

   I have no issue with videos. I have no issues with some different pictures that I found on my machine.

   I have tried large files. I have tried small files. I have tried tiff files. I have tried jpegs with embedded profiles. I have tried jpegs with no embedded profiles.

   I have noticed that this happens with files created in Adobe. Both Photoshop and Lightroom. I tried exporting a file as TIF, opened in MS Paint, saved as JPG and this one worked.

   Does anyone have any suggestions? I can provide these images, if that would help anyone.

   Thanks in advance,
   Michael

   Don;'t bother. They can't be used for Web. Stick to .png. .gif or standard encoded jpg.

   I wanted to try everything. I realize now that they did not work.

   As mentioned- I have been unable to upload any jpeg files that were saved out of Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. There seems to be a problem in the processing that occurs as part of the uploading.

   Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have any further suggestions?

   Thanks and regards,

   You need to ensure that you are saving standard encoded.jpg files (sometimes referred to as "optimised for web use").

   @Shmuel -- did you ever figure it out? I just started getting the http error, but only on images more than 560px wide...and even then sometimes the width didn't fix it.

   Cheers,

   martin
