# Upload HTTP Error on upload

 * Whenever i try to upload images on a post, they get stuck in “crunching mode”
   and after that the message HTTP ERROR appears. I’ve tried disabling all plugins,
   changing browsers and computers but nothing works. To make it short: I can’t 
   upload ANY images on my blog. Need help ASAP.
    Thanx!

 * Hi [Tadobi@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-http-error-on-upload/Tadobi@gmail.com?output_format=md),
 * I am having the same issue, and if you have spent the last two days trawling 
   Google as I have, you will see that this issue has been intermiten for quite 
   some years!
 * Below is a list of things I have tried and hasn’t worked for me, but might work
   for you:
 * 1. Make sure you are running the latest version of flash for your browser.
 * 2. Turn off the flash uploader: [http://www.chewie.co.uk/general/wordpress-image-upload-http-error/](http://www.chewie.co.uk/general/wordpress-image-upload-http-error/)
 * 3. Edit you htaccess file to amend mod_security access: </IfModule>
    <IfModule
   mod_security.c> <Files async-upload.php> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST
   Off </Files> </IfModule>
 * 4. Changing permissions on the image upload folders to 777 (A security risk in
   it’s own right!)
 * My quest continues… I will post back here if I find a permanent fix.
 * Would mind telling me what set up you are running, for example; what version 
   of WP and what host you are using and what server – linux/windows, dedicated/
   shared/vps/

 * Thanx for the reply!
 * I have edited the .htaccess file and emptied the cache on my browser. Everything
   seems ok for now but… you never know!

 * Hi Tadobi,
 * Glad one of them worked for you. I am wondering whether I have not edited my 
   htaccess file correct, is this what you have got?

 * Thanks Tadobi, let me know if it breaks again. Might then discover the culprit!

 * You may also want to check with your host tech support. If they are doing upgrades
   or maintenance work you will have difficulties uploading. I had similar problems
   and found my server was hopelessly overloaded. I changed my hosting service provider
   and all my problems disappeared.
