WordPress 3.1.1. but still HTTP error with flash-upload

OK I’ve done tons of searching on this issue and tried every possible solution and it’s still not working. I’m not sure why it worked for a second when my host changed something on their end and also why they said it works for them when they logged into my site but I can’t get it to work on any of my computers with any browser.

My best guess based on everything I’ve read and tried is that the issue has to do with Flash. That said, can anyone help?? WordPress is simply not usable with this error.

I have to upload photos using the opposite browser from usual. So if you are uploading with the Flash uploader, try uploading with the browser uploader instead. that seemed to work for me. It is something to do with your host, but this at least sorted it so you can do some work.

^^^Thanks but that’s not practical for users who require multiple image uploads.

I have found a work-around – just use this plugin:

Going to try using this until the main issue is solved. So far this plugin is working for me. Only issue as of now is that my watermark script isn’t working with this plugin, but fortunately the plugin offers a watermark feature, so I’m going to see if that will work for my needs.

Will keep an eye on this thread in case anyone solves the main issue.

For anyone on MT DV this is what needed to be changed for it to work:

Thank you very much! This was the solution to my HTTP error problem!

Yeah!
Everything indicates that the error “HTTP Error” is caused by a change in the Apache FastCGI module (mod_fcgid 2.3.6) that limits the value of the parameter MaxRequestLen to 128KB (very low). Previously this limit was 1GB.
Therefore this problem is likely to occur only on servers running PHP in FastCGI mode and only when trying to upload a file larger than 128KB.

The final and stable solution to this problem is well explained in the link that leaves our friend ntarantino ??

https://wiki.mediatemple.net/w/(dv)_4.0:Enable_FastCGI

and it works perfectly! ??

but that solution requires access and modify the configuration file of FastCGI. It can be done via SSH or asking the support team of your server to do so.

An intermediate and fast solution I’ve found, for those who need to solve this problem right now and can not modify that file themselves, is as follows:
– Install the plugin WPlupload (nice and efficient plugin that replaces the WP file upload form)
– In the plugin settings indicate 128kb or less in the “Chunk size”
– Enjoy ??

Please tell me if this solution works for you.
