Hi,

So i am in the middle of changing a wordpress site - just adding content, pics, etc. All is fine then suddenly for no reason i am getting the error when trying to upload a small image: [Tue Sep 08 10:57:17 2015] [error] [client 71.56.45.239] Premature end of script headers: async-upload.php, referer: http://theglobeggc.com/wp-admin/media-new.php [Tue Sep 08 10:58:44 2015] [warn] [client 71.56.45.239] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server, referer: http://theglobeggc.com/wp-admin/media-new.php

So i then try to switch to CGI and then i get this error:

[Tue Sep 08 10:58:44 2015] [error] [client 71.56.45.239] Premature end of script headers: async-upload.php, referer: http://theglobeggc.com/wp-admin/media-new.php [Tue Sep 08 11:06:38 2015] [error] [client 71.56.45.239] Premature end of script headers: php5.4.cgi, referer: http://theglobeggc.com/wp-admin/media-new.php

Any idea on what happened here? I am stuck. Nothing was changed o nthe server prior to getting these errors. Thanks!

Is this just a problem with this one site, or are all sites having this same problem?

It may be an issue with this one website -- perhaps the website was updated, or a plugin was added, that is causing some sort of problem?

Apparently just this one site. I just was able to upload fine on another site on server. Nothing was updated though.. literally 5 seconds passed before it worked and then it stopped?

OK so for giggles i switched to Apache mod_php and back to FCGI. Now it works. I restarted Apache 3 times before this as well with no success so i am at a loss but it is working again... strange!!

With FCGID, it could have been cached. So an update could have been made earlier in the day, and the issue only showed up recently.

I know that WordPress can perform updates on it's own, if it's configured to do so.

Do other parts of the site work, is it just an issue with this media-new.php page?
