Error 500

15Oct08

If you encounter a Error 500 with the Flash uploader for NextGEN Gallery, it could be caused by the Mod_security addon for the Apache server. Thanks to the great response in the wordpress.org forums , there exists an easy work around for it. Add to your .htaccess file the follow exclude option :

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

Thanks to John Blackbourn for the hat tip !

    Place the htaccess in the admin folder of the plugin, that should work

    I have the error 500 even at activating the plugin. And I have to delete the plugin’s folder to get rid of it…
    Any idea on that?
