File upload problems

Try a different browser. I think WP is using whatever the browser claims as the file size when it gives that error.

Thanks for the reply. I tried Safari, Firefox, and Opera, and all give the same result. There is nothing in my apache error_log that indicates a problem. This is very puzzling.

Note to self: it helps if file_uploads are on.

D’oh.

So how do you turn on the file_uploads?

I’m having the same problem myself with importing an rss file.

I’m having this issue on one server with a new install.. uploads work like a charm on my other server. Any leads on this?

Permissions are wide open, but “File is empty. Please upload something more substantial.” is still a constant companion.

Yay! This solved my problem too, once I figured out what wjdennen was talking about.

The site’s PHP.ini had file_uploads set to OFF.

D’oh indeed!

ps: You can check your site’s setting with a quick <? phpinfo() ?>. I created a new page with just that command.
