 * Hi- another newbie here
    When I try to upload photos into my site I get the Http
   error and/ or this:
 * The uploaded file could not be moved to /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/havehimeatingoutofyourhand.
   com/httpdocs/wp-content.
 * This is what I have done so far to rectify this
    1. Uploaded a new directory 
   to the root of my server called ‘uploads’ and made it fully readable and writeable–
   but changed it now because of security reasons 2. Added code to the .hcasses 
   file- didn’t make a difference- so deleted it and now it is blank again 3. searched
   through every forum and website trying to find the answer.
 * Any other simple suggestions so I can upload photos??
 * Thanks
    Elana Both

 * I am also having this problem with large images, and it’s been devastating to
   my sanity. I am stubborn, so I absolutely refuse to accept that I have to upload
   them via FTP.
 * Any ideas? Anyone?

 * I have the same problem on a brand new WP installation.
 * Tried this:

 * chmod /wp-content and all uploads folders under it to 777
    upload an image now
   chmod all back to 755 for security should work from now on

 * Hi,
 * Have a check with these options:
 * 1) Add this code in .htaccess file of the wordpress blog:
 * <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </IfModule
   >
 * 2) Change the permissions of wp-contents folder to 766 recursively.
 * 3) Go to your WordPress Admin then Settings – Misc. Set ‘Store uploads in this
   folder’ to: wp-content/uploads and leave Full URL path to files blank.
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.

 * try putting
 *     ```
       AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
       AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
       ```
   
 * at the TOP of your htaccess file

 * I’ve been wrestling with this for 3 hours…I’ve seen a dozen people say that this
   issue still hasn’t been resolved. I’ve tried _every _fix I could find. _Nothing
   _is working. I would think that an issue like this would have a fix.

 * krembo99 –
    Your solution finally solved this problem for me. Thank you!
 * More explicitly, I modified the .htaccess with Shane G’s recommendation which
   gave me a 500 internal error. I left that and added krembo99’s code to the top
   and the combo works perfectly. Since it seems so many people are having this 
   problem, I had to comment this success.
