"HTTP error" when uploading images

    I have an issue after upgrading to WP 3.5 that I could not resolve following what seemed to help others.

    Uploading any but very small images generates a statement “HTTP error” in the upload screen. The uploaded image is visible in the media library, and I can click on ‘edit’, but when I then want to e.g. resize or otherwise manipulate it, it says that there is no image data and I should re-upload.

    – Same issue in different browsers
    – Memory size is 256M
    – Disabling all Plugins didn’t help
    – Running Twenty-Twelve Theme didn’t help
    – WP_DEBUG does not return any hints
    – even 900px width images, 150KB don’t upload. A smaller 45KB image uploaded successfully
    – I have tons of free space on the server

    Help?

  • Have you checked your site’s error logs for clues?

    No, it seems I only can access them the next day – any cues you’d be looking for?

    I got a solution with my host’s support: they recommended to chmod uploads to 777 which I didn’t want to do, but I found in the process that a combination of stopping to grant PHP user access through .htaccess (by running CGI mode) and giving instead site ownership to www-data solved it without 777.
    Still not sure why this works different than before…

    I am having a similar issue and tried everything you list in your original post. In your last post you seem to have solved it, but what exactly does this mean?
