30 March 2008 - 18:55Fix Wordpress 2.5 upload error - HTTP error
The solution for me was to edit the .htaccess file in the root directory of my webserver (the directory where Wordpress is installed). Add the following to the the .htaccess file after the “END WordPress”:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>
If you are having the problem of your .htaccess file losing its changes, you have most likely put something inside the Wordpress block of the .htaccess file. Keep any custom changes outside of that block or they will be overwritten.

This worked for me. I did not have an .htaccess file, but put the above code by itself into a new .htaccess file and it worked fine. Thx.

I saw that the server doesn’t recognize the esistence of the “uploads” folder and once You have created it again, after you upload a file, it doesn’t recognize the folder again, telling me the “uploads” folder doesn’t exist.
