# HTTP Error

 * I’m trying to upload images via the WP media admin of my site that I’m developing,
   it keeps giving me an ‘HTTP Error’ as soon as I click on the upload?
 * I have been in contact with the hosting company, so far I have renamed the image
   names to be smaller, resized to be a max of 3000px wide, changed them from .jpg
   to a .png and am still having the same error.
 * I have just tried again to get the exact error message, it worked with both images
   uploading?
 * I think there is still an error, though it may be intermittent?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhttp-error-125%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * This is commonly caused by an over-aggressive configuration of your server’s 
   mod_security module. Try asking your host about it.
 * You may need to increase the amount of memory. Again, ask your host about it

 * Thanks for the reply.
 * This site is hosted on a FREE server that I’m using for the development of an
   online Creative Media Course, once I’m ready to go live, it’ll be on a proper
   hosting plan!
 * I have been in touch with them, they told me about the maximum size for images
   that WP would be able to handle, and the file names?
 * I guess then the problem will go away?
 * Thanks

 * > his site is hosted on a FREE server
 * That may be the problem.

 * You might want to check your PHP Configuration – if you are able to change it,
   select 7.0 — solved all my problems on my image upload issues.
