# HTTP Error on image upload

 * Hi, I’ve developed a problem on uploading images. I believe this has been reported
   before on here and I’ve followed instructions to change the .htaccess files and
   I did that to no avail.
    Now here’s the doozy: When I upload an image, I get 
   the http error sign on the right of the media uploader. When I refresh the page,
   the image seems to have been uploaded, but the thumbnail is blank (it has the
   grey page with the corner folder down) to suggest an error. When uploading into
   the copy, I can copy the URL of the image and use the html side of the text box
   to paste it in. When setting a featured image, the thumbnail appears. I’m soon
   having a new person uploading information in the admin panel and I’d like it 
   to run smoothly. By hosting provider says there’s nothing wrong at their end.

 * Hey **steampunkjournal**,
    Try to upload an image less than 100kb and see if 
   this is uploading successfully. Also try to add `SetEnv MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT 1`
   to your .htaccess file (located at root). Hope the .htaccess can help you. If
   less than 100kb file is being uploaded successfully then try increase you `upload_max_filesize`
   by contacting your host provider or you can do this in your php.ini file, but
   it would be better to make it by your host providers. Also make sure that `post_max_size`
   and `memory_limit` should be greater than your `upload_max_filesize`. Thanks 
   Simplerthansimplest.

 * Hi, thanks for your message. I mentioned in the the opening post that I tried
   the SetEnv MAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT 1 and it didn’t work. I’ve compacted the image
   down to 62.3kb and the same happens.
    I’m waiting in a queue right now to talk
   to my server hosts to see if they can expand my memory, but I don’t get why that
   would suddenly change?

 * Hi, just to let you know that the hosting providers have sorted the issue but
   didn’t feedback what the problem was I’m afraid.
 * I’ll see if I can close this now 🙂
 * Thanks
