After uploading a normal jpg or png (anything) to the media library, we get the above error.
I've seen many posts on this topic and tried everything but still stuck.
I'm not the regular user, but I see dozens of other pictures have been uploaded, and suddenly we're getting this error.
I checked the server, there is disk space, the permissions for Uploads and Images folders are writable (777) and I've confirmed that I can upload through the Plex control panel. I also tried deactivating all the plugins.
There are a couple things I'm also curious about, but I'm not sure if they are related:
1) One said to make sure "Always use HTTPS" is checked, but I do not have that option which is talked about here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
2) If I go to wp-admin/network/settings.php I get the WordPress message "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page," even though I have a user with the Administrator role.
Is there another hidden user with greater permissions? Still not sure if that would help though, since everything was fine until recently.
Edit:
I found the cause, however I don't know why it happened or how to prevent it from happening in the future. The user for the 2013 folder, and a subdirectory for this month only, was set to Apache instead of ourusername like all the other folders. I don't know why this happened or how to prevent it from happening. I copied the folder and the user was by default set to ourusername which prevents the issue for now, but still wondering how to avoid this problem popping up again.
To get over this uploading an image error, you must make sure the permissions to this folder wp-content are set correctly.
ANSWER: The IUSR account should have read and write access. (Works for Plesk IIS and others)
Do not create the folders yourself in the WordPress area!

I have around 10 plugins installed.
I use a wordpress theme by sitemile.
The site works fine sometimes, but very often, if I were to go to the login or sign up page, it displays the 500 internal error. I want to set up logs for see to see whats happening but I am not sure how I can do that.
Also, sometimes the homepage of the website loads very funky but if i go to other pages, it may or may not load that page properly.
Not an internet issue. Cleared cache as well. Interestingly, I see different results in normal and incognitu browsers.
Do these internal errors occur most of the time when you have a lot of plugins? Is there some other source of problem that I can check to make sure everything in my site is alright?

Depending on your webhost, you might already have more details in a log file. Often times with apache it's called "error_log" and it can be found in your root directory or the directory of the file causing the error.
It could be anything from access permissions or a security block. So it's going to be hard for someone to give you an answer on this without more information.
Things to try:
You can try disabling one plugin at a time until it works.
Look for an error_log (or similar) file
Double check all of the file permissions, chmod and chown
Contact your web host and see if they can provide any insight
If you ARE the web host (or manage the server yourself) then you can check the apache error logs (if enabled) and/or security logs on the server
Double check any errors on the .htaccess file
A script could be consuming too much resources or taking too long to load, you can narrow it down by process of elimination and then disable/patch the culprit
i am currently hosting my site on justhost (just as a test server), when i save my work on my local computer through aptana the files are automatically uploaded to the hosting server, and they appear fine. However this only works for my actual files like .php and .html
They do not work for my .css files, so if i save them and upload them the changes do not take effect, until like the next day, or if i turn my computer on and off and leave it a couple of hours, i am not sure why they are not taking effect immediately like the rest of the fiels.
I have tried deleting my cache and adding ?ver=1.0 to the end of the file name, but still no luck.
Also, i checked the hosting directly and the css file has updated to the correct version, but just does not show in browser.
Any ideas on what could be wrong, it would make life much easier if i could get them updating like the other files.
Thanks
I can't be sure what is causing this, but if I'm correct - the files do upload, its not a case of not uploading. It's one of these things
The Cache is holding it (already cleared it though?)
The file is doing some odd cross server transfer, depends what sort of hosting your on, but it may be the file is getting held up somewhere
Try clearing the DNS Cache
Start > type CMD > in the dialog type:
ipconfig /flushdns
That may force the computer to reload the file.
As for an ongoing solution to prevent it in the future I'm out...
I know it has been a while, but as others may find this question the way I did, the solution for me was to enable Cloudflare Developer Mode. Cloudflare was keeping the css files in cache and it drove me crazy to find the solution in another forum. I hope your case may be the same as mine as thus you can solve it as well.
I am currently building a website using drupal 7.x. Unfortunately I cannot seem to enter the admin/config page. Every time I click on the configuration tab on the administration menu, I only get a blank page. Then I created another sample site. It also has the same problem and I am using WAMP server. I cleared cache and finds no difference. I have searched for similar issues, but could find none. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
A number of things can cause the White Screen of Death, but the most common things to check:
As suggested above, memory limit may need to be increased.
Have you enabled any modules other than those in Drupal core? Try disabling contributed modules and enable individually until you experience the error, to help you identify which module is causing trouble. If you can't access the modules admin page, you can disable them in the database - the system table has a 'status' field. 1 means enable, 0 is disabled.
Could it be a permissions issue? Check admin access permissions or try logging in as the superuser (user ID 1).
Lots more and discussion here and here.
Finally I got the answer. Increase the max_execution_time in php.ini file. It solves the issue.
A few things to try...
Check your php error log for clues.
Create a simple file that calls phpinfo() and see what your memory_limit is. It may need to be increased.
Try tweaking your php.ini to get it to display an error message instead of a blank page.
I tracked this very issue to l10_update module, once I enable it, admin/config shows the WSOD. Once I disabled it, everything's fine. So:
- unchecking the localization_update module in the "modules" list
- de-installing it from the modules list
- deleting directory sites/all/modules/l10n_update
- and re-installing the module (from the same tar.gz file)

I ran into some trouble modifying my product and reinstalling it, so I tried installing the version I know works on my live site.
Still no love, just an error message I can't decipher which seems to contain spam! Any suggestions as to how I can diagnose this or where to seek help?
This pastie has the error, truncated due to size:

Come to think of it I did see an unidentified user listed at one stage...
Thanks!
Most likely, your site has been compromised by an automated script exploiting CVE-2011-2528. The script adds accounts, changes passwords of existing accounts, and customizes your main_template macro.
In order to clean this up, you need to:
Install the Plone Hotfix.
Reset your session secrets to prevent reuse of old session cookies the attacker may still have.
Audit the accounts present, removing any you do not know, especially if they Administrator access.
Clean up your main_template macro. If you never customized it through the web, simply delete it from your portal_sites/custom folder (go to the ZMI, select portal_sites, select custom, and delete), otherwise edit it and remove the hidden links at the bottom.
I have an online photo archive. My webpage is password protected but I have not yet protected the photo folder to stop people direct linking the photos by URL. All the photos are uniquely named so it is a little hard to guess... but if somebody wanted to guess, they can - and I don't want them to.
How can I stop them from doing this? Is there a way to show a custom webpage if they do try this, that's says "Oi, don't steal!" or similar?
I have a windows dedicated server with administrator access via remote desktop. The only thing that should enter that folder is a script, nothing else.
Many thanks
Do you mean to say you have enabled basic authentication on the folder containing the images? If that is the case no user should be able to guess, or browse the directory contents without putting in username and password first, otherwise they will get a 401 unauthorized error.
You can check the referrer. It can be easily defeated but most people likely wont care enough to do so. Here is some more detail about that http://davidwalsh.name/prevent-image-hotlinking
For password protecting a portion of your website you can also use .htaccess files - http://weavervsworld.com/docs/other/passprotect.html
I dont know how to do either of these in IIS, apologies.
