Last month I did a fresh install on this server and I had so many prob­lems with 2.8, so 3 days ago I did another fresh install of 2.8.1, but I got my SQL back­ups cor­rupted some­how… any­ways, I last logged that I could not get the http_error to go away and it seems to be a very com­mon prob­lem for users who upgraded to 2.8 and up.  When you are using the default image Flash Uploader, it’ll says http_error in red.  If you use the Browser Uploader, it just goes blank after you hit Upload.  Even though the imag is uploaded, you can­not do any fur­ther edit­ing with it (see screenshots):

I’ve tried mess­ing with the .htacess, mak­ing file sizes smaller.  Mak­ing images smaller than 600px wide seemed to work for some, but not all.  Then I also noticed that Nextgen Gallery also has the same prob­lem as the default image uploader.  In fact, NextGen Gallery warns that max­i­mum mem­ory exceed at 16.xxMB.  So I went to NextGen Gallery’s site and found this in the FAQ.  Then I went into my Cpanel to inves­ti­gate the PHP set­tings, lo and behold the memory_limit is set to 16MB.  I opened up a ticket to ask my host to increase the limit to 24MB, prob­lem solved.  I no longer have any error when upload­ing any images.

One last thing though, after I got the memory_limit changed from 16MB to 24MB.  I started to get 505 Inter­nal Server Error.  Luck­ily, I have a very awe­some host, they fixed the prob­lem within half an hour after I opened a ticket.   Although, my host used .htac­cess to fix the prob­lem.  Then a new prob­lem came out, all the perma­links seem to be no longer work­ing.  They all returned as 505 Inter­nal Sever Error.  I solved it by check­ing the .htacess file and took out what my host put in and just left the Word­Press .htac­cess – prob­lem fixed.

Hope that helps some­one else out there.
