 * Hi there,
 * I’ve installed WordPress 2.8.6 succesfully in my server, and got the blog running.
   But there’s a big issue: I can’t upload images… Everytime a try to do this thru
   the User CP, it gives me a red “HTTP ERROR”.
 * Anyone has a clue on how to solve this?

 * You might need to contact your hosting provider and make sure that their services
   include all the necessary requirements for hosting WordPress. See – [http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)

 * Hi,
 * Add this code in htaccess;
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
       SecFilterEngine Off
       SecFilterScanPOST Off
       </IfModule>
       ```

   posted [a link that solved the “HTTP error.” problem](http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Hakre/Htaccess_Auth_Excludes)
   for me (after all other solutions I tried failed).
 * Just for the record, I am using WP 2.9 on HostGator.

 * I’m on WP 2.9, and we had a htpasswd authentication on the wp-admin folder.
 * The link above from bookchiq worked perfectly.
 * (BTW, the browser uploader worked fine. It’s the flash uploader that didn’t work.)

 * This might work. All the advice to update my htaccess was not helping. I run 
   my blog on a windows server. This is how I fixed this HTTP error problem.
 * With in your Dashboard go to Settings and then Miscellaneous Setting.
 * For some reason my hosting site automatically added this to the Store upload 
   files path.
 * (/home/users/web/b2284/ipw.livingproofbc/nt/blog/wp-content/uploads)
 * I deleted it all and replaced it with
 * wp-content/uploads (just as recommend.) (Also make sure you have a uploads file
   in your wp-content folder)
 * Now IT WORKS!
 * This only took me 8 hours of tweaking to get it to work. Hope this works for 
   you.

 * Any help on this will be appreciated; I’ve been battling this for a while.
 * Although an .htaccess file appears in my ftp client in a direct search, the file
   will not download to my desktop, so I cannot modify it. Can anyone tell me the
   normal location of this file in the directory?
 * dbradley-
    I tried that and it worked two times, then reverted back to the http
   error indicator.
 * Most recently it works occasionally and not at the other times. Any help?
