• When I attempt to upload an audio file (wav and mp4) I get an “HTTP Error” message. No more information given. I’ve used both the “Multi-file” and “Browser” settings. In the past I’ve managed to upload audio files fine, but no more. Help.

  • This can occur due to a few reasons.

    1. The file size exceeds the max file upload size allowed by your host.
    2. The ‘script’ performing the file upload ‘times out’ as you have exceeded the host configured time allowed.
    3. You have exceeded either the total allowed storage with host or the total allowed over a specific time.
    4. The file is corrupt, malformed or otherwise not acceptable to the host (perhaps it has a copyright?).

    Please ask host first about this.

    Thank you. The maximum file size listed is 50mbs. Ive tried to upload a 44.4mb file to no avail, I then tried to upload a 24mb file and had the same result. The upload in each case took less than 2 mins. I don’t know what host configured time allowed is. I don’t know what the total allowed storage is and I don’t know where to look to find that out. I know the files are not copyrighted. They’re my own personal recordings. I don’t think they’re corrupt, they play fine on my computer and cd player.

    Do you have FTP access to the site and can you upload a phpinfo.php file to the site?

    It contain just this:
    <? phpinfo(); ?>

    Use a plain text editor to create it and then upload to the root of your WordPress install. You can then run that file in a browser:

    mysite.com/phpinfo.php

    It allows you to see the PHP settings (on some host setups in a php.ini file).
