Title: missing files? Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # missing files? * Resolved [skoville](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skoville/) * (@skoville) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-files-17/) * I’ve been up all night trying all the fixes to correct the HTTP Error. Reading 5 year old posts to no avail. adecided to try thr codes you put into the .htaccess or php… But I can’t find them anywhere. Looked in wp-admin. Am I missing them or just not looking in the right place, and used the search. * Do I need to delete everything and start over?

I know the frustration. * What exactly is the problem you are experiencing? * You can find the .htaccess file in the root folder of your WordPress installation. It is on the same level as the `wp-admin` folder. * Thread Starter [skoville](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skoville/) * (@skoville) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-files-17/#post-6367221) * Hi Josh, Trying to upload video’s I always get the “HTML Error”. I had one work that was less than 10 mb withe a couple of images that were 1000x 800 and it was a MP4 made in MoiveMaker. When I tried files in QuickTime they were rejected. I’ve tried most of the fixes I found, resized the images (all jpg’s), resize the video, change from mov to mp3…etc. I didn’t want to get into the changing the codes in php wp_whatever. I’m leery of screwing it up I raised the upload limit to 250mb with a plugin I found and it does say 250mb but only the 1st mp $ withe large 4 pictures of 11 still loads. These video’s consist of audio (songs) plus still images in a slide show with transitions.I was going to try one without the fancy stuff but dot see why WP is doing this. I really was up all night trying, LOL. Or I would have replied sooner. I know nothing about php or the other changes. When WP switched awhile back to the blog I ended up redoing my site. It’s just a site for me to mess around with and not important like a lot of others with this problem and wondered if I should just toss it all and start over. I really don’t want to, and if it doesn’t fix it I’d go nuts. Sorry for the length but I don’t want to forget something.Any ideas? * Thread Starter [skoville](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skoville/) * (@skoville) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-files-17/#post-6367223) * `WordPress installation` OK In cpanel the only Word press file is empty. I’m wondering if I have lost some files there. Can’t find .htaccess anywhere. I don’t understand how it can be empty and I’m still working on the site. * When I double click the WordPress folder it says, “This directory is empty.”. * Thread Starter [skoville](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skoville/) * (@skoville) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-files-17/#post-6367230) * Right now I’m trying a simple mov file that’s 150mb.BTW I’ve also tried the browser uploader. No. Same http error. So it can’t be the transitions or effects in Moviemaker. * Thread Starter [skoville](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skoville/) * (@skoville) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-files-17/#post-6367238) * You know, I think the “Change limit” plug in is BS. I just chopped up the video that won’t load to less than 10mb and it loaded fine. * Thread Starter [skoville](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skoville/) * (@skoville) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-files-17/#post-6367248) * Well I contacted BlueHost and had the limit raised to 150m. Still getting the error. * Thread Starter [skoville](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skoville/) * (@skoville) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-files-17/#post-6367266) * Finally found the php.ini and wp-config.php inthe Public_html folder. Changed file and post sizes, took out a bogus line - define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’); * which a couple peple suggested to enter in the wp-config.php file, that stopped the file upload at crunching. Well, all’s well. Thanks for your reply, I know your busy. * [tbennettcc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tbennettcc/) * (@tbennettcc) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-files-17/#post-6367267) * That’s awesome troubleshooting, skoville!
