“http error” when using Uploadify plugin for JQuery

Question

I\'m using the plugin from here: http://www.uploadify.com/

I have setup a simple test case, select a file etc & I get a \"HTTP Error\" when I try to upload.

Answer 1

I got a different http error: HTTP undefined or HTTP 500. After 4 hours of searching the web, I found the answer.

It is because the server uses Mod_Security. To turn it off, add these lines to .htacess file

<Ifmodule mod_php5.c>
SecFilterEngine "off"
SecFilterScanPOST "off"
</Ifmodule>

Answer 2

Problem fixed.... it was an issue with some stuff I had in the .htaccess file, probably the "LimitRequestBody".

Not sure why these settings affected it as the values I had set in there were larger values than the files I was trying to upload, but alas the code I took out of .htaccess was the below..

php_value upload_max_filesize 256MB
php_value post_max_size 300MB
php_value max_input_time 500
LimitRequestBody 500MB
