Since I was only using WP I went with defaults instead of kitchen sink configuration of my sub domain. * **Resolution WordPress 3.3.x Can’t Upload files** * On Plesk Control Panel Select Domain(subdomain) Make sure that PHP Support is checked and set to (run as [FastCGI Application] ) * KUDOS HYPERPAC * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [3.3 – Cannot upload files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/33-cannot-upload-files/) * [johnmcglaughlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnmcglaughlin/) * (@johnmcglaughlin) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/33-cannot-upload-files/#post-2469770) * > esmi > Theme Diva & Forum Moderator Posted 14 minutes ago # > Try posting your own topic. * What is that supposed to mean? * I can not Upload Files: * Opening another topic is exactly the problem SPECIFICALLY with this bug, there are too many topics open about this and no solution. * As a Test engineer I left you a detailed explanation of what I did to resolve the issue. * I specified I have two identical subdomains, one able to upload media and plugins and one not able to upload anything. * As a QA professional I am very surprised with your myopic response. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [3.3 – Cannot upload files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/33-cannot-upload-files/) * [johnmcglaughlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnmcglaughlin/) * (@johnmcglaughlin) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/33-cannot-upload-files/#post-2469768) * This seems a little ridiculous that a solution can not be found. * I am at my wits end, I have one subdomain installation that is plain vanilla and works fine. * On the new subdomain installation, I have - deleted the database - deleted entire subdomain - installed new subdomain - extracted new wp3.3.1 - uploaded new wp3.3.1 - created different database - installed wp3.3.1 - tried upload (failed) * I have painstakingly looked through all directories and permissions and .htaccess. There are no differences. * If support can tell me which ACTUAL php files are used I can see if there is a diff there. * I really don’t have the time or patience but the next move is to compare files sizes between the two installations to see if I can find a diff there. * I can’t believe that there is no solution at this time that is not BLATANTLY searchable. * I really was looking forward to moving into WP from my native PHP sites.
