# HTTP image problem

 * Hi,
 * Nothing on the main site and subdomain (subfolder) installation is different (
   running the same version and all the same specs on the server are the same)
 * When I upload a file to the main site, I get an HTTP error, but the image eventually
   does show up (I have to switch ALL() to Images() or Unattached() and then it 
   shows up in the library – so it’s there, just not showing up under images all
   the time right away)
 * When I try to upload an image to the subdomain, I get an http error, but no images
   are present in the library anywhere.
 * Thanks

 * This is commonly caused by an over-aggressive configuration of your server’s 
   mod_security module. Try asking your hosts about it.

 * If I use the browsermode I get the following (the file was in my documents folder,
   don’t know where it got the tmp from)
 * PHP Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(C:\WINDOWS\
   Temp\phpBC72.tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (E:\inetpub\vhosts\xxxxxxxx.

 * It’s a windows server, so there is no mod_security.

 * You still need to contact your hosts about the above server error message.

 * They didn’t change anything, but they did get it to upload, despite the HTTP 
   errors and the PHP warning.
 * No clue why; but at least I can upload images now.
