 * Hi, I´ve installed my blog and all works fine. The only problem is that when 
   I try to upload any media through the uploader of wordpress, I get an “HTTP Error”
   message. Then when I look at the folder via FTP, the photos appear uploaded, 
   but doesn´t appear in the media list of the blog. I´ve already asked for help
   in the hosting support page, and they said me that is impossible to supply me
   script support in the server because i´m suscribed to free hosting.
    I hope you
   can help me. Sorry for my english, i´m writing from argentina and i know only
   a bit of english.

 * Check your uploads path in Settings->Media. It should be blank in most installs.

 * Thanks for helping. It was blank. Then I tried writing the same directory in 
   the text box and the error is still there..
    I think it´s a script problem of
   the server. If you find another solution or know another free hosting that works
   with own domain, I would be grateful.

 * Ask your hosts if your domain is set to use PHP as FastCGI or an Apache Module.
   FastCGI will cause upload errors.

 * I´ve just sent an email to them. When I have the answer I´ll post it here.

 * They responded this: “If the uploader is making use of sockets, it will not function
   properly on free hosting.”
 * So i think that changing my host will be the best solution. If you know any free
   hosting that works properly with file uploading, I will thank you for saying 
   them.
 * However, the header image file uploads properly, so I don´t think the problem
   is that.

 * I’m sorry but we do not recommend using free hosting with WordPress.
