 * I’ve checked my permissions for the wp-content/uploads directory but for some
   reason I’m unable to upload images or anything this morning, I keep getting an“
   HTTP Error” which isn’t very specific.

 * Can you check your server logs?
    Can you enable WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php? Maybe
   this will become more specific.

 * Every time I try to open my log file “http” (which is an alias), Fetch gives 
   an error that the original can’t be found.
 * I changed wp-config to allow WP_DEBUB to be true, and I get this error at the
   top of my site:
 * Notice: get_theme_data is deprecated since version 3.4! Use wp_get_theme() instead.
   in /home/jayb/themeltedspatula.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2839
 * Other than that, trying to upload images still gives “HTTP Error” (at the top
   of the page in a red square)

 * Can you verify which version of PHP your server is running?
 * Create a file info.php using a simple text editor for example, enter
    `<? phpinfo();?
   >`
 * upload this file to your site root and then visit it in a browser like this
 * `http://yoursite.com/info.php`
