Http Error When Uploading Media Image Files

  • I am seriously struggling to get my article up!

    Somehow, after updating to wp 4.4.1 I keep having this problem when I uploading jpg files. It’s like I need to try uploading 10 times before I can finally get it up.

    I tried deactivating smushed it and also shortpixel plugins. Still having this frustrating problem.

    Please help!

  • Could you specify what particular HTTP error you get or if have any other error messages or log files?

    Is it possible that your images might be too big or the server experiencing traffic problems?

    wp4.4.2 Just realised I am having same error. Used to work fine and think my other sites are having same problem
    trying to upload a graphic .jpg 278KB file
    browser’s built-in file uploader gives 500 error
    multi-file uploader gives HTTP error.
    Just realised that fails when graphic is greater than 135KB even though uploader shows max size for upload to be 8MB

    This is definitely not natural. The 500 error in the built-in file uploader shows some kind of unexpected server error. Exceeding the max upload size could be it. I would suggest you mention this to your host. If you have access to your error logs then maybe you could check them out and see if anything usefull is logged there.

    Sorry for the delay been a bit busy lately.
    As you suggested I have created the failure again and here is the error log which looks promising for detail
    [Fri Feb 05 10:31:35.589912 2016] [fcgid:warn] [pid 3974] [client xx.yyy.zz.aaa:53072] mod_fcgid: HTTP request length 131737 (so far) exceeds MaxRequestLen (131072), referer: https://mysite.com/wp-admin/media-new.php

    Hi Nevma – thanks for your which pointed me in the right direction. Results so far looking good and used this webpage for the fix

    https://www.howtoforge.com/apache2-mod_fcgid-http-request-length-exceeds-maxrequestlen

    Well, the error is pretty straight about it. The upload request you make exceeds the maximum allowed size. Now I know that 135kb should be small enough already, so I guess the best option is to forward the error to your system administrator so they can check it out.

    Glad to help! ??
