What uploader are you using? The flash one?
Have you tried the other ones? There are options listed on that page.
If you are referring to the browser uploader vs. the new uploader I’ve tried both of these with no luck on either. The new one says HTTP ERROR and the browser uploader says Internal Server Error.
Is there any direct way to contact WordPress so I can troubleshoot this? I can’t locate a contact email or phone.
I appreciate any feedback or help you can provide.
Thanks!
Has anyone found a resolution for this? I’ve been at it for over a week, trying what I’ve found in forums and not finding any luck. When I use one uploader I get HTTP error, and with the other I get ‘Page Not Found.’
Hi Caroline. I had to talk to the group that hosts our blog (Go Daddy specifically for us). They were able to find the error, which was on their part, but they got it fixed write away. I wish you the best of luck! It certainly is a pain when the uploader doesn’t work!
Thank you so much for letting me know. I’ve spoken with our hosts and they don’t think it’s their fault but I’m not convinced yet!! Thank you! Did they say what the error was by chance?
Unfortunately no. Sorry!!
That’s okay…thanks for letting me know! I appreciate your time!
One of our clients, had the same issue.
Finally we found out that the wordpress “HTTP Error” when uploading images, was happening due to a change on the server side. The hosting comany, decided to add APC accelerate to the server in order to increase server’s stability and speed. APC accelerate should work only with FastCGI and not with su, so they set PHP to run as FastCGI.
When using PHP as FastCGI, if you try to upload a file larger than 128KB, an error “mod_fcgid: HTTP request length 131388 (so far) exceeds MaxRequestLen (131072)” occurs and causes an 550 internal server error. This happens because the value of MaxRequestLen directive is set to 131072 bytes (128KB) by default. One way to correct this (if server uses Plesk), is to edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf and set MaxRequestLen to a higher value, for example 15MB (MaxRequestLen 15728640). If server uses cPanel, this change can be done via the WHM of the server.
So, if you can upload images up to 128KB, this is the solution to your problem.
