HTTP Error

    I recently moved my WP files from the root directory to a folder to prevent clutter and for better organization (I followed the steps on the Codex to a tee). I have two blogs on my server, one which was already in a subfolder, and have never had trouble with either.

    I made sure my Misc. Settings were updated correctly.

    Now, on both blogs, I am getting a HTTP error with the Flash uploader and a Internal 500 error with the browser loader.

    Any ideas on what the problem might be?

  • Changing the path in Settings > Misc should not break anything. It should just make your uploads go somewhere else (assuming the path you put in there exists or can be created). Sorry, I don’t know the answer but a temporary workaround is to use FTP software to upload your files.

    What exactly did you enter into Settings > Miscellaneous?

    I figured it out. I had a weird .htaccess file in the root. So, I re-wrote it and we’re back to normal.

    Thanks.

    You probably have to add the foldername to the file like:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /foldername/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /foldername/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Replace foldername in both places with your actual folder name.

    I’m surprised that your site worked at all w/o that file.

    This might work. All the advice to update my htaccess was not helping. I run my blog on a windows server. This is how I fixed this HTTP error problem.

    With in your Dashboard go to Settings and then Miscellaneous Setting.

    For some reason my hosting site automatically added this to the Store upload files path.

    (/home/users/web/b2284/ipw.livingproofbc/nt/blog/wp-content/uploads)

    I deleted it all and replaced it with

    wp-content/uploads (just as recommend.) (Also make sure you have a uploads file in your wp-content folder)

    Now IT WORKS!

    This only took me 8 hours of tweaking to get it to work. Hope this works for you.
