 * I have not been able to upload any images. I get an HTTP ERROR and the the message‘
   To try again later’ in the ‘crunching section of the upload window.
 * What have I done wrong or need to do? I had NO problems uploading with any of
   the earlier versions of WP.

 * Sure this is WP 2.3.3 – I’ve got the same in 2.5.1. Strange this is, I’ve got
   two separate WP 2.5.1 installed on the same server – one is perfect, the other
   one keeps giving me these “HTTP error” messages when uploading images.

 * I’ve got the same issue with 2.5.1. Multiple installs on the same server, and
   only one is broken (of course, it’s the one where the client wants to upload 
   files every day…). It doesn’t matter what kind of file I’m trying to upload, 
   they all fail the same way:
 * ‘HTTP Error.’
    ‘An error occurred in the upload. Try again later’
 * It doesn’t even write any issues to the server error log (bit less than helpful…)

 * I had a similar problem with my blog. Was fine until I upgraded to 2.5.
    If you
   have exhausted all other avenues, I would contact your host. My host (Hostgator)
   was blocking the upload of images for security. I had to tell them the location
   of all of my blogs so that they could remove the security feature. This worked
   perfectly.
 * When I was getting the problem I was just getting “http error”, but I know some
   people got “crunching” instead.
 * It seems that the server was logging this message: mod_security: Access denied
   with code 403. Pattern match “^Shockwave Flash” at HEADER(“USER-AGENT”) [id “***
   MY ID”][rev “1”] [msg “SpamBot UA”] [severity “CRITICAL”] [hostname “***MY-DOMAIN***”][
   uri “/testing/blog/wp-admin/async-upload.php”]
 * Hope this helps you guys. I spent hours trying sugegsted fixes. I never would
   have guessed that it was a security issue with my host. After contacting them
   it was fixed within the hour.
    At first they argued that it was 3rd party software,
   but I told them that I had a test blog and I also had blogs on 2 servers and 
   it was the same on all of them. They referred me to their higher level support
   and they fixed it within an hour.
 * Let me know the outcome. [dave@isnigh.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-loading-images/dave@isnigh.com?output_format=md)

 * I have had the same problem using Firefox. However, I can get the images to load
   using Safari.
 * If you are on a Windows machine, try using another browser. Also, I read on here
   somewhere one should delete cache memory. I did that and it created other problems
   so I restored all the cache files.
