 * Hi,
 * I’m getting an HTTP error when uploading images to my site in the media area 
   of WP dashboard. I was able to upload the first 5 or so, and then the last 3 
   couldn’t upload at all. I tried different browsers, that didn’t work. I tried
   purging the cache from WP dashboard, that didn’t work. This isn’t this first 
   time this has happened. How do I fix this?

 * There are a number of things that could lead to a HTTP error when you are trying
   to upload files using the WordPress media uploader. Basically, WordPress is unable
   to figure out the cause and that’s why it displays the generic ‘HTTP error’ message.
