 * Hey,
 * Whenever I try to upload any .png or .jpg file from my hard drive, I get the 
   following error: There was an error while uploading file to the server. Please,
   try again later.

 * I’m trying to upload graphics from the administrator account.
    The graphics are
   small media files, tried different sizes (60kb-100kb). I’ve set 777 CHMODs for‘
   uploads’ folder and files within. Additionally, I’ve set 777 CHMODs for ‘wp-content’
   folder. The graphics are being uploaded to the server, I can read them from my
   FTP cient. They are properly saved in 8 different sizes. I tried uploading media
   on different locations: pages, posts and add-ons. I tried switching the themes,
   the problem is visible on all of them. Finally, I’ve checked allocated HDD space
   in my hosting panel – I still got over 1GB of free space.
 * Could you, please, help me solve that issue?

 * Try checking your site’s error logs for messages. Your hosts should be able to
   help you accessing your site’s error logs.

 * Thank you, they looked into logs. Apparently, the RAM limit was reached and they
   advised to upgrade my account. I believe the problem can be marked as solved.
