is there a simple solution?
I’m guessing as to your precise error, since you didn’t explain much of anything, but you have to get file permissions right. That is the only solution. See if this thread and this one help any.
the error message i keep getting on the bulk loading drag and drop page is:
“” has failed to upload due to an error
File is empty. Please upload something more substantial
this post simply stun me. there is not a phrase or term i know what it means
where do i create a phpinfo page where do i scroll down to look for user/group log into what terminal? where is the root directory? is there not a simple way for me to upload 30 pics in diakiws.wordpress.com? u can see how i have been doing it with pdf s but i want to create multiple slide shows and uploading one at a tiem is too painful for this 75 yer old bakcpacker
here is the post tht makes we want to go back to a scrap book. help somebody!
“In simpler terms:
Create a phpinfo page, if you don’t already have one.
Scroll down to “apache2handler” and look for “User/Group.”
Remember the name listed for the user. My entry was apache(#)/#, the name was “apache.”
Log into a terminal as the root user. Google this step if you need help here.
Navigate to the folder just above where your WP is installed. Mine is installed to the root directory (httpdocs), so it was at var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com
Type chown -R (your the username from earlier) (your wp directory)/ – for me, chown -R apache httpdocs/. This changes the ownership of the directory to apache.
Navigate to your wp-content folder: httpdocs/wp-content/
Type chmod -R 766 uploads/. This changes permissions so that apache can read, write, and execute there.
This worked for me. Hopefully others who find this thread through Google (like I did) will find this useful.
