Try asking your hosts about it. * Thread Starter [Paul Tocknell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/globalflyer/) * (@globalflyer) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-37/#post-4883545) * I have a dedicated server and have disabled mod_security in my httacess. * I have contact my server and there are no issues that they can find. * I have disabled ALL plugins and used the twenty fourteen theme. * I cannot upload any images over 100kb or I receive an HTTP error message. * I am out of options and this issue is the cause of loss sales and customers using other vendors. * This needs to be addressed ASAP. * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-37/#post-4883546) * These volunteer staffed support forums don’t really do “ASAP”. 😉 * > After upgrading to WordPress 3.9 I receive a “HTTP ERROR” whenever trying to > upload any media or image file. * When you upload 100kb+ sized images and you get the “HTTP ERROR” there should be a error log entry in your web server’s error_log file. That’s not a WordPress generated error but from your web server. What does your log file day when that happens? * If you don’t know where to find that file then your host should be able to provide you that info. The timestamp on that entry should line up with that error. * Thread Starter [Paul Tocknell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/globalflyer/) * (@globalflyer) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-37/#post-4883547) * There is no message in my error log associated with the “HTTP ERROR” message. * There are only two error logs noted for today: * ``` [Tue May 06 12:52:48 2014] [error] [client 173.22.211.85] client denied by server configuration: /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/uploads/edd/2014/01/ [Tue May 06 12:52:46 2014] [error] [client 173.22.211.85] client denied by server configuration: /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/uploads/edd/2014/01/ ``` * I have tried dozens of times to upload today and would expect to see many more error messages related. * I appreciate your support and apologize for my demanding tone. I understand you are volunteers but it is frustrating to see sales and customers go somewhere else. * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-37/#post-4883548) * No no, don’t sweat the ASAP. You’ve a problem and this is a support forum. It’s all good. 😉 * Is there anything in the regular access log that matches your timestamp for those errors? It works for less than 100kb files… do you know what the settings are for your `php.ini` file for these settings? * ``` post_max_size upload_max_filesize ``` * Thread Starter [Paul Tocknell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/globalflyer/) * (@globalflyer) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-37/#post-4883549) * ``` PHP Version: 5.2.17 MySQL Version: 5.1.73-cll Web Server Info: Apache WordPress Memory Limit: 40MB PHP Safe Mode: No PHP Memory Limit: 256M PHP Upload Max Size: 128M PHP Post Max Size: 64M PHP Upload Max Filesize: 128M PHP Time Limit: 360 PHP Max Input Vars: PHP Arg Separator: & PHP Allow URL File Open: Yes WP_DEBUG: Disabled ``` * I am still looking through my access logs to find some matching time stamps.
