When I try to upload an image file larger than ~100k through Wordpress and another upload script, I am getting a generic "http error".

I can upload smaller images without any problems.

I am using ISPConfig3 on Ubuntu 14.04.

I followed these steps and the changes were made without issue but that did not resolve my issue:

1. Create a php file with and open it with your browser.
2. Look for Loaded Configuration File (this shows the actual conf. file in use) and edit upload\_max\_filesize and set post\_max\_size to the same value (or make it 0 to disable limit) in that file in root mode.
3. Execute: sudo service apache2 restart

I did not think it would solve it since the default was 2m and the file is much smaller than that.

I have also tried the following:

Same error with IE, FF, and Chrome

```
- added this to .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

```

* deactivating all plugins
* changed themes and it was still an issue
* another posted suggested this, but I do not have this file:
Edit the following file:

/etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf

Add this line (just below all of the other lines that start with ‘Fcgid’):

```
FcgidMaxRequestLen 1073741824

```

* found a post suggesting this:
You can also add this to your wp-config.php file: define('WP\_MEMORY\_LIMIT', '64MB');
* uploads directory was 777 anyhow so no need to change to to 755 as suggested in other posts
* added the following to my .htaccess file:

php\_value upload\_max\_filesize 64M
php\_value post\_max\_size 64M
php\_value max\_execution\_time 300
php\_value max\_input\_time 300

Are there any logs that will tell me why the uploads are failing or even better, does anyone know why it is failing?

**ADDITIONAL INFO**

I did find the /var/log/apache2/error.log and tested the upload again tailing the log file and nothing showed up in the log.
