HTTP error when uploading media WordPress
- SOLVED
I'm trying to upload a picture in Wordpress post.
I get HTTP error (red).
Tried everything suggested from the WP forums (very awful) for e.g.
adding some code to htaccess
changing permission
Didn't work.
Someone suggested mod_security might interfere with the upload process (something to do with flash uploader useragent being blacklisted) so I tried HTTP upload
Didn't work.
I have the Wordpress installed on a VPS so I have root access.
If only someone can solve this mystery..

thanks.
or add this line to your .htaccess file
<blockquote><IfModule*mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule></blockquote>

I added the codes, with the result of my site being inaccessible and displaying 500 internal server error message.
Removing the code makes everything return back to normal.

add this line at the top of your .htaccess file of your site
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
for example your .htaccess file should be like below
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /mysite/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /mysite/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Adding the code makes the dashboard appear weird.. loss of all appearance with code only.
See the attachment to know what I mean.
