Can't upload images after moving the site from localhost to my online host.

Hey Armin,
I did a transfer from localhost to my domain name. Site works perfect and browses great. I wanted to add another image, but I keep getting a HTTP error. (That's what appears on the screen after I used the "media - add new". When I just drop my image files in the main media screen they just appear with a grey-paper-icon, but can't be opened or seen.
If I click on that icon I get this "attachment detail" page. On there, if I click on "view attachment page" below in the right column it does open the image.
But I can't add it to pages or anything…
The permissions of the Upload folder on wordpress are set to 755
I tried it on mozilla and on Safari. I work on a mac system. And I have tried it with JPG / png / … different image files. (You can find the site here: www.wardheirwegh.com)
Could you advise me how to solve this?
Best,
W.

Hey wardh, can you please ask your webhost about this? Not sure, maybe your webspace is full.

HTTP error

Thanks, Armin!
I found a solution. I added this to the functions.php of lay theme.

add_filter( ‘wp_image_editors’, ‘change_graphic_lib’ );
function change_graphic_lib($array) {
return array( ‘WP_Image_Editor_GD’, ‘WP_Image_Editor_Imagick’ );
}

hm whenever you update lay theme this will be overwritten :/
maybe theres a plugin that does the same, would be a better solution.

Haha, I have no idea what it does or how it works. (Just copied it from some guy's tips and tricks page to solve this problem.) So I don't even know how to look for a similar plug-in. (tips are welcome.)
But I'll copy it again when I update. No problemo!
