 * So everything was going fine, well at least i thought until i went to go add 
   a image to a new post only to be met by the
 * “HTTP error.”
 * i did look around seems like im not the only one i also did try all the fixes
   that have been posted but all with no hope in fixing it

 * My best guess is that it’s a file permission error. Have a read of this post 
   and try and follow its recommendations for your site, in particular your wp-content/
   uploads directory tree.

 * Hmmm, that’s odd. I was pointing you at this page:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
 * Setting the permissions to 777 isn’t a good thing, there’s a section about that
   on the link.

 * I still seem to have this problem.
 * I’v tried on a fresh install and still no hope but i did get something different
   a .gif upload about 1mb in size so i know its not size of files here is the picture.
