Files not uploading and Getting Errors

support
1

I am not able to upload images and I am getting this popup error everytime I try to upload an image:

Sorry, there was an error uploading that file. Please try again.

I checked the File settings and the max upload limit of an image is 3072 KB. I even changed it to 7000KB but no use. I am not able to upload an image of size 30KB? One of the problem I observed is that I am able to uplaod short width images with width < 400px but not for wider images. Don’t know what is wrong at http://ask.mybloggertricks.com

I did delete browser image cache but no use. Would really appreciate a help here

UPDATE: The problem was due to a recent version of discourse that caused some bugs due to memory leak as discussed here which thanks to @sam is all setup now!

Are there any related erros in /logs?

Disk space isn’t the issue, your server has run out of RAM. Discourse has (had?) a bit of a memory leak; update and restart Discourse and this error should go away – unless something else running on your server is hogging all your RAM. :wink:
