No way. I made a new install and tried to add new item imediatelly without images and i get Internal server error. I created new category, new fields groups etc... everthing ok, but when adding new item, error 500. Some people say it can be server problem. I´m hosted at webhostingbuzz.com and they say it´s not server problem.

Matthias Dohm said:Please try to add a new item without any image, gallery, video, etc. If this works, try to add a small image (max 640 x 480).

Hm, ok, that's a tough problem. It seems to be a different problem, than diskussed here before.

If you have some knowledge about php you could try the following:

Inside the administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php file the function save() is called when you try to create an item. You could insert something like "die('everything alright');" at different positions to find out at which point the error occurs.

Dear All,

the problem of "500 internal server .." might be comes from CGI module

Please double check with your provider wheter this is being support or not!

If so simply add in your .htaccess

Looks like this has been stalled for a while. anybody get any further that still wasnt able to get in? I have tried every fix anywhere google would take me, and still having the error, only for files over 1024x768, smaller files work great

Hi

I went through all of the steps for the fixes commented on this thread and still a 500 error ....

then I noticed that my image had a bad file name - with a space in it. Changed that and it worked fine.

Since this was the last thing I changed I can't comment on whether the other fixes were necessary for me. I am on 1 & 1 hosting and it seems to work now though.

May be just me but thought I'd mention it. Usually Joomla picks this up (maybe just through JCE editor).

after reading this post and thanks as it fixed the problem for me
just receiving internal error when putting up pics (not 500 error code)
but figured same thing
i am on donhost hosting and was having major problems only able to put up really small images
look bad when viewed in a large window removed the code for converts image from true color, and fix transparency if needed

and all is working fine the upload is very fast using joomla 2x k2 2.6.8

hope this helps some body out there
code removed was from line 4948
