HTTP Error using Image Uploader (WP 3.1/3.2)

    I know there have been tons of Image Upload HTTP error posts but I’ve noticed they’re all for WP versions under 3.0. I decided to make a new one because it has gotten confusing to swim through all the solutions and threads.

    Problem:
    – Gets HTTP error when uploading image files bigger than 200kb.
    – Upload percent goes all the way to 100% and to “Crunching…”
    – Flash uploader says “HTTP error”
    – Browser uploader opens page that says “Internal Server Error”
    – Uploader worked fine a month before prior to current situation
    – There was at one point it said “I/O error” but not appearing anymore

    The things I’ve tried that didn’t work:
    – Re-installed WP 3.1
    – Updated to WP 3.2
    – Revert back to twenty ten and twenty eleven themes
    – Disabled all plugins
    – Tried the various .htaccess solutions
    – Changed permissions to /uploads to 777
    – Recreated upload situation in Mozilla and Safari in Mac
    – Recreated upload situation in Mozilla and IE in Windows
    – Deleted /uploads and tried uploading everything again
    – Recreated images into new files then upload
    – Made an alternative folder for uploads
    – Contacted my host to see if any changes to my server

    My PHP specs:
    PHP 5.1.56, 32mb memory limit, 10mb max filesize upload
    input time: 60, execution time 30

    Help?

    What happened to me was that if I enter link using the link-button and place it before text – all the remaining text is made clickable.

    If I insert the link at the end of the post – no text following, the url is not visible.

    I tried maaaany times, until my post was classified too old to edit. I then then resorted to simply pasting the link itself as text. Fortunately this was made an active link, so the link-button is not needed.

    Hockeyfreak solved this for me!

    My htaccess file didn’t have the code he suggested at all, commented out or otherwise – I simply pasted in the code after whatever was already there and it works! I’ve added it to all my WordPress sites!

    I would say this might be a host by host problem and you might have to find your own fix, but luckily so far all the sites with problems are sites I resell hosting for with the same host.

    Again, this is what I pasted to fix my http error:
    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

    Thanks!

    I also added this to the bottom of my standard WordPress permalinks .htaccess file and it worked:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

    Hope this helps others too.

    Thanks Hockeyfreak

    This .htaccess modification still has no affect. Really need this one sorted out, WordPress.

    This .htaccess modification fixed my HTTP error problem on a WP hosted on lunarpages.com.

    Hey,
    I have the same problem. But it just happens because my wordpress folder in cpanel is password protected. When I remove password protection, it works fine.
    So check your wordpress installed directory and make sure it is not password protected.

    Thanks Libin,

    Sometimes the solution is too easy to see. 🙂

    I had a password protection via .htaccess enabled. The problem disappeared when i removed the password protection.

    Thanks!

    In my case it was the simple:press AND the wordbooker plugin.

    I had the same problem and I think it was the smush.it plugin (though it could have been a host of others, including Akismet, because it was working on and off)

    Smush.it plugin was my issue, I just started having this issue after installing it…. deactivated and I can upload images fine again.

    It was Smush.it for me as well – however, I have had Smush.it for a while and it operated just fine until the latest WP roll-out. Apparently, it’s not compatible with the latest build. I hope they fix that soon. Smush.it is a pretty valueable plug-in
