# [SOLVED] Can’t upload: HTTP error & problem with Media Library

 * **Solution:** As noted in [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-library-is-slow-lagging-constantly-spinning-or-crashes/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-library-is-slow-lagging-constantly-spinning-or-crashes/),
   if you’re seeing a “HTTP error” message in the Media Library (especially after
   trying to upload a SVG image), then it might be a problem between Safe SVG and
   php7.
 * The fix, as described in that post, seems to be to install php7.0-xml (with `
   apt-get install php7.0-xml`) then restarting your web server.
 * ———–
    **Here is the original problem report…** I’m using WP 5.0.2, Divi Builder
   2.19, Divi Theme 3.19, and Safe SVG 1.8.1 I see two problems:
 * 0. If I don’t use Safe SVG, I get an error message, “Sorry, this file type is
   not permitted for security reasons.” (This is as expected.)
 * 1. When I attempt to drag an SVG into the Media Library, I see the upload process,
   then a “HTTP error” message. The result is that the SVG was not uploaded, nor
   does it appear in wp-content/uploads…
 * 2. With Safe SVG activated, none of the images in the Media Library are visible.
   There’s a little spinner in the header that continues to spin without change.
   De-activating Safe SVG allows the Media Library to display its images again.
 * What other information could I provide for debugging? Thanks.
 * PS I have added `AddType image/svg+xml .svg .svgz` to my .htaccess file before
   any of these problem.
 * PPS Weirdly, I see exactly the same symptoms when using SVG Support plugin, version
   2.3.15 and WP SVG Images 3.0…
