 * Hello Alex!
 * First of all I would like to thank you for the best ever wordpress plugin there
   is. I am totally in to it and I really, **really love it**. It has made my blog
   just the way I have always dreamed of.
 * Only think that I just couldn’t figure out is the problem that I experience with
   Upload function.
 * Every time I try to use it, it starts crunching, but at the end it produces this
   massage: **ERROR HTTP ERROR : filename.jpg : 503**. At the last file the wordpress
   informs me: Directory /home/myhome/public_html/wp-content/gallery/test contains
   no pictures
 * I had almost the same problem with WordPress build in Media Uploader until I 
   have installed “Image Upload HTTP Error Fix” plugin. You can find it here: [http://lud.icro.us/wordpress-plugin-image-upload-http-error-fix/](http://lud.icro.us/wordpress-plugin-image-upload-http-error-fix/)

   as step with ftp isn’t my favorite one. However, have a great time!

 * Many thanks to **John Blackbourn** at [http://lud.icro.us/wordpress-plugin-image-upload-http-error-fix/](http://lud.icro.us/wordpress-plugin-image-upload-http-error-fix/)
   for helping me at solving this problem!
 * My ERROR 503 is gone now and Flash unloader works like charm!
 * **SOLUTION:**
 * If you’re happy editing your blog’s .htaccess file, try adding this to the end
   of the file:
 * <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files upload.php> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST
   Off </Files> </IfModule>
 * NextGen uses a file called upload.php for handling uploads, and this code should
   disable mod_security on that file.

 * Thanks for the feedback, I will check if I can determine mod_security and look
   for a patch
