Magento Upload HTTP Error [SOLVED]

Submitted by shane on Thu, 2010-06-03 16:49

This was a strange error with Magento. I was in a product, trying to upload an image. The image would upload find, but then error out with "Upload HTTP Error". I changed permissions up and down the /media and /var directories and made them as loose with permissions as I could.

Still no change.

Then I happened upon this comment in the forums.

To anyone that has a HTTP upload error AND has a password protected store directory (for under construction reasons):
remove the directory password protection and you’ll be able to upload your files again! That was what happened to me.

BINGO!

I removed the password protection for the admin (not the Magento password, but Apache basic password protection).
