14.04 - Uploading large images are failing

When I try to upload an image file larger than ~100k through Wordpress and another upload script, I am getting a generic "http error".

I can upload smaller images without any problems.

I am using ISPConfig3 on Ubuntu 14.04.

I followed these steps and the changes were made without issue but that did not resolve my issue:

1. Create a php file with and open it with your browser.


2. Look for Loaded Configuration File (this shows the actual conf. file in use) and edit upload_max_filesize and set post_max_size to the same value (or make it 0 to disable limit) in that file in root mode.


3. Execute: sudo service apache2 restart

I did not think it would solve it since the default was 2m and the file is much smaller than that.

I have also tried the following:

Same error with IE, FF, and Chrome

- added this to .htaccess file:



SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

• deactivating all plugins




• changed themes and it was still an issue





• another posted suggested this, but I do not have this file:
  Edit the following file:

  
  
  

  /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf

Add this line (just below all of the other lines that start with ‘Fcgid’):

FcgidMaxRequestLen 1073741824

• found a post suggesting this:
  You can also add this to your wp-config.php file: define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64MB');




• uploads directory was 777 anyhow so no need to change to to 755 as suggested in other posts




• added the following to my .htaccess file:

  
  
  

  php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
  php_value post_max_size 64M
  php_value max_execution_time 300
  
  php_value max_input_time 300

Are there any logs that will tell me why the uploads are failing or even better, does anyone know why it is failing?

ADDITIONAL INFO

I did find the /var/log/apache2/error.log and tested the upload again tailing the log file and nothing showed up in the log.
