a few of you e-mailed me about the error where you try to upload an image into a post and you get that crunching “http error” text and i noticed that i had the same issue as well. i remember my image uploads working from school and on a previous installation, so i figured it couldn’t be anything serverside. well i did some research and just in case any of you encounter this issue again, here is the solution:

add the following code to a blank .txt file:


<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

upload that file to your admin folder. then just simply rename it to .htaccess without the .txt extension at the end. make sure your upload directory is also set to CHMOD 777 to make it writeable. i guess it’s something serverside, kinda.

you’re welcome.
