# HTTP Error When Uploading Media

 * Very simply I get a HTTP Error when uploading an image via the flash version 
   of uploader. Not huge files, nothing special about them. The progress bar gets
   to 100% before I get the error.
 * If I go via the non-Flash version, I just get a blank (white) screen.
 * After looking through this forum for hours, every thread I read about this error
   suggests something different and I’ve ended up really confused.
 * Can anyone suggest any simple steps to try and narrow down what area of WordPress
   I might need to look at more closely?
 * There have been no new plugins, upgrades or changes since my last successful 
   upload of media.
 * Anything in non-technical language would be appreciated! 🙂

 * This is commonly caused by an over-aggressive configuration of your server’s 
   mod_security module. Try asking your hosts about it.
