    Wordpress 3.1 PHP Version 5.2.6 Media Temple (dedicated-virtual)
   server. memory_limit = 32mb
 * **THE ISSUE**
    Upon uploading a jpg via the flash uploader I geat a red ‘http
   error” after crunching.
 * Using the browser uploader I get HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error.
 * This only happens on certain images. The image size is under 2mb.

 * The suggested fix is to installed the Non Flash Uploader plugin. This disables
   the flash uploader option however this doesn’t fix the problem. Now I seem to
   be getting the Blank screen of death after I attempt to upload an image.

 * I am experiencing the same issue as you [@pawpawsteve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pawpawsteve/)
   on a multisite installation. I am however able to upload smaller images, why 
   would this be you WP pro’s out there is there something in the “crunching…” that
   is timing out? where would I go to check for an error?
    - Upload limit is set at 2 meg, files of 200k fail while 5k images get through.
    -  I have recieved the little red error text “HTTP error” and “IO error”

 * Also using Media Temple (dv) 4.0. Tried this and it it worked for me…read “‘HTTP
   error’ When Uploading Files.”

 * BTW, my PHP install is running as FastCGI. I have had no issues with WordPress
   since changing from Apache. You must be running as FastCGI for the above to work
   I believe.
