 * Hi. I’m trying to put an image with a blog entry. I am using Word Press 2.5 and
   working in IE. I browsed in my photo folder in my computer for the photo (jpeg)
   to enter in the blog. I get the message HTTP error. The photos are smaller than
   the maximum size so that’s not the problem. I saw one post about typing in a 
   url to upload the photos and using designated flies for this. I am such a newbie
   I don’t know a thing about that. Your help to get the photos up will be greatly
   appreciated.
 * BTW this is the first time I’m giving out my web site. It’s brand new!
    Thanks
   in advance, Nili [http://www.lessstress4aviationprofessionals.com](http://www.lessstress4aviationprofessionals.com)

 * yes, the sticky doesn’t answer as well. I get this error msg:
 * Not Acceptable
    An appropriate representation of the requested resource /wp-admin/
   media-upload.php could not be found on this server.
 * Apache/1.3.37 Server at crocpod.com Port 80
 * It’s driving me nuts too… i feel i should give up on WP… no one in support forum
   bothers to answer this qtn as well. i mean there is the sticky but it doesn’t
   address what exactly the above msg means. is it a server problem or is it a download/
   installation problem. for newbies, the problem seems quite insurmountable…

 * I’m having troubles with this too. I’ve looked around for help with this too 
   and it seems to have something with your permissions. I read about changing your
   permissions in the uploads folder thats in your wp-content folder to 777. ( [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions))
   If you use your ftp program to go into your files on the server and find the 
   uploads folder you then right click on that folder and choose properties. Then
   as you click on allowing access at each leve you will soon see a number change
   to 777. That’s allowing now groups to have read and write access as well as the
   world to have read and writ access to that folder. (Scary)…
    Then you have to
   add some additional lines of script to your .htacces file and to put it in your
   root directory. See here [http://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess_for_subdirectories](http://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess_for_subdirectories)
 * Good Luck…
