Wordpress uploading image hangs

Posted on February 13, 2013

I’ve just set up LEMP on a new droplet following some tutorials from DO. After that I have set up a wordpress, everything works fine except for image (media) uploading. The upload page just hangs for several minutes and ends up throwing this:

Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

I’ve tried changing permission to both 755 and even 777 but still not working, any ideas ?

PS. I’m using Ubuntu 12.04

I tried to install nginx for my Wordpress site too, but I went back to a virtual host setup with apache and suphp. This works the best for my on more than 5 servers. I’ve follow the steps from this tutorial: <br>http://www.web-development-blog.com/archives/how-to-install-a-linux-web-server-ubuntu/

This probably means that the image you are uploading is larger than PHP’s maximum upload size. http://css-tricks.com/snippets/php/increase-maximum-php-upload-size/
