Title: http error uploading .zip Last modified: May 20, 2017 --- # http error uploading .zip * Resolved [DB](https://wordpress.org/support/users/destructiveburn/) * (@destructiveburn) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-uploading-zip/) * I’m using a plugin called: Easy Digital Downloads I’m using it for Minecraft. bins for Xbox 360 I’ll put the world into a zip and upload it to the “Insert Media” page it will upload half way or all the way and fail with HTTP error. * I’ve looked online and some say add code php or .htaccess file. Wont work. Disabled all plugins but Easy Digital Downloads Wont work. Edit Single Post (single.php) Wont work. Add Plugin: Default to GD Wont work. Changed .zip to .rar I get: Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons. * The file is only: 30.7 MB and the file upload is set to 500MB Added a file called: php.ini it contains: memory_limit=256M post_max_size=500M upload_max_filesize =500M I’m using Godaddy Linux Deluxe Memory 512, CPU 100, Processes 100 File Usage 10,216 / 250,000 * I just started this site not to long ago. I’m frustrated. I’m new to this and 1 problem leads to 10 more. I reverted everything back to normal on the things that did not work. I have clue what to do now. I’m using Oria theme. Does this have anything to do with WordPress 4.7.5 being the problem? If so how do I downgrade without redoing everything again or will they fix it. * I came to WordPress on the hopes of using Easy Digital Downloads but running into so many problems is ridiculous.

Still not working. I added max_execution_time = 10000 to php.ini and restarted the upload after a refresh. No luck. It did this. * Froze on the load bar at the spot for 2min ⌊http://destructiveburn.com/wp-content/ uploads/edd/2017/05/2017-05-20_17-52-54.png⌉ * Then it did this ⌊http://destructiveburn.com/wp-content/uploads/edd/2017/05/ 2017-05-20_17-54-29.png⌉ * Loaded the site in Firefox and tried it with a different name. It uploaded halfway and restarted then gone halfway again and showed the HTTP error. * What’s the deal with the upload system. Seems to work fine with Images and other types of items in a zip folder. Not .bin files in a zip folder. Never tried media yet. * Whats the deal with the security thing too with .rar. * Thread Starter [DB](https://wordpress.org/support/users/destructiveburn/) * (@destructiveburn) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-uploading-zip/#post-9152578) * I uploaded the same file in cPanel File Manager v3 in the exact edd folder as were the insert media would send it. it did upload the file, ruling that out. * I did refresh on the insert media to see if it would show in the list. It did not. It’s not very continent to do everything manually. Kind of a pain. Mean time it works. I would like to fix this though. * I did see a post on here about the security thing with .rar files on the word press version i’m using. You think this could be a bug too? * [staartmees](https://wordpress.org/support/users/staartmees/) * (@staartmees) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-uploading-zip/#post-9152732) * upload those files using FTP and add them to the media library using [https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-from-server/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-from-server/) * Thread Starter [DB](https://wordpress.org/support/users/destructiveburn/) * (@destructiveburn) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-uploading-zip/#post-9153423) * Add From Server imports to Insert Media. That solves my issue with it not displaying in the Insert Media from uploading from Files manager. Thank you for that 🙂 It will work in the meantime. * Still is there a solution to fix this Insert Media HTTP Error? * [Uros Tasic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpaurorautasic/) * (@wpaurorautasic) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-uploading-zip/#post-9157849) * Can you check with you hosting company about php.ini file, because I still think that you have problems because of that.
