# Image Upload Error “File is empty….”

 * Today I tried to upload a JPG image to my blog and I got the following error:
 * “File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also
   be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being
   defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.”
 * The file I tried to upload wasn’t that large, and I’ve never gotten this error
   before so I’m confused as to why this is all of the sudden happening. I contacted
   Godaddy and they said it was a WordPress issue and couldn’t help me. I asked 
   them about the php.ini file and she said I do not have one.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 * By the way, I checked PHP.ini and my uploads are not disabled, and my max post
   size is 8MB. The image I’m trying to upload is only about 45KB, so I don’t think
   php.ini is the problem.
