 * Hello,
 * I have been trying to upload an mp3 into our media library as I always do. I 
   keep getting an HTTP Error. I contacted the host and they say it’s not from the
   hosting. I contacted the ISP, and everything is fine there. The host suggested
   I contact the theme developer as to why all of a sudden I can’t upload an mp3.
   The theme developer said to contact WordPress. So here I am. Can you help with
   this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhttp-error-136%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@tslbozeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tslbozeman/),
    this is a
   common issue usually related to some of these causes:
    1. The file size exceed your MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE: try uploading a smaller file and 
       see if it works;
    2. The filename contains some special characters or spaces that prevent a correct
       uploading: rename it to a simpler one;
    3. There’s a lack of memory available for WordPress to use. To fix this, increase
       the amount of memory PHP can use on your server by adding this line to your 
       wp-config.php: `define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' )`;
    4. There may be other causes that you should consider in case none of the above
       is, which a related to some .htaccess problem or web server one. But i think
       you should check those points for first.

 * Thank you for responding. None of those issues is the case. The file size is 
   about the same as we always load. The file name format is the same as always,
   and the host checked if there was anything host related, which I believe #3 would
   be. 🙁

 * Well, apart from checking if there’s still enough free space on your server, 
   try renaming the file or editing with some mp3 editor and re-saveit.

 * I did both of those yesterday. I can chat with the host again, but we upgraded
   our plan recently, so I doubt seriously we are out of space after only a few 
   months. We only upload mp3s once a month.

 * Well, in this case the only thing to do is to open the php/apache log file and
   see what’s going on there :/

 * That’s beyond my skill level. I’m a designer not a developer. I’m going back 
   to the host for now and will check in a bit later. (I’m also traveling today,
   so it might be tomorrow.) Thanks for your help so far.
