 * This is a new install. I can upload images to the media library using the browser
   uploader but not the flash uploader.
 * When I click on “Insert image into post” I get a 404 Error. I’ve tried changing
   permissions to 777 on the upload folders to no avail
 * Thanks in advance for any help…

 * 404 error would indicate that your upload did not complete and you couldn’t get
   the uploading php file.
 * What is the address bar URL when you get the 404 error?
 * My suggestion is try a reinstall.

 * Thanx TM3909
 * The url is:
    .com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?post=1&action=edit
 * The upload is in the uploads folder and it appears in the media library. I had
   to upload it using the browser uploader. Then I selected the image “from media
   library”

 * Wow, very odd. So you can upload to the media library but you can’t upload from
   the post media library?
 * Or you just can’t insert the image into the post?

 * I can upload to the media library using the browser uploader but not the flash
   uploader
 * Then I edit the post, select “set feature image”, all of the information appears
   but when I click on “Insert into post” I get the error.

 * Thats very different. I’m thinking it may be a host issue. Do you know if you
   are running PHP5?

 * The only thing I can tell is:
    _PHP (with GD lib and most standard PHP modules)_
   Thanks for your time TM3909 I’m looking at another hosting company, think I’ll
   go that route Thank you again
