Error message with SWF Upload

    Upon uploading files with the Flash uploader I get the “http error” and “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later. (Dismiss)” errors. Files do upload, though. The error message does not seem needed and it makes users uneasy. Browser uploader works fine. The site is on a hosted server.

    Disabling mod_security does not help. I tried updating SWFUpload, did not help. Caches cleared, files reuploaded, Flash player updated, gone through the sticky post.

    This error did not appear a week ago. I’ve tried disabling plugins I’ve installed recently. Occurs on Safari, Firefox and Camino on Mac, and apparently on Firefox Windows, too.

    Does anybody know what to do next?

    A timeout of some sort could cause those error messages incorrectly. Like a PHP execution time being set too low in the PHP.INI, sort of thing.

    Because those errors come from the webserver itself and not from WordPress, it’s rather hard to say what to try specifically. Basically just increase timeouts until you figure out which one is the issue.

    Thank you for your reply, Otto.

    I’m a bit unsure about timeouts, it only takes a couple of seconds for the error to appear. Also, the images I’m using are small. I did set max_input_time and max_execution_time to 0, -1 and 999. I checked phpinfo, the values did change but nothing made it work. Is there some other timeout settings or other things I could try?
