HTTP error…

    Alright, I know I’m not the only one out there who has had this problem, but I’ve tried everything and I still can’t figure out why this isn’t working.

    Basically, if I upload a file greater than a few KB, I get “HTTP error.” If I switch to Browser upload, I get “Internal Server Error.”

    I disabled all plugins — no dice.
    I tried all sorts of .htaccess changes — nothing.
    I installed a plugin claiming to fix it — nope.

    I used to be able to upload files. Large files up to 30MB even, but suddenly this stopped working. I even tried a fresh install and it’s still not working.

    Is there something I’m missing?

    You may need to increase PHP’s maximum file upload size, maximum execution time, or available memory. Though not directly related to your problem, this FAQ details methods for increasing all three:

    Any changes to my .htaccess file result in a “Internal Server Error”

    So instead I’ve had to use a php5.ini file in my root that has the following values:

    memory_limit = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 50M
max_execution_time = 600

    When uploading, I can see that the max upload file size has been changed, but files still get the “HTTP error,” always when the file starts “Crunching…”

    There seems to be an inconsistency though, because on the rare occasion it will work.

    What’s going on…. 🙁

    If there’s an inconsistency, there may be a problem on the server end. You might want to inquire with your hosting provider.
