Issue Summary
I've been going crazy with this issue. Situation as follows:
- Host 1and1
I've been trying to upload large image jpeg files (bigger than 2MB), one at a time, and after a few seconds, I get an error 500.
I've been reading many posts...and unless I'm missing something major, this might be a bug in the image module.
I emphasize this since I'm able to upload large (bigger than 10 MB) video files in the video module, and I get no error messages...thus I conclude that php settings are not involved in this...
I've changed the max image size to be 10000kb in the module configuration settings, but still nothing.
Can somebody help?

this is pretty much a duplicate of: http://drupal.org/node/139846
i'm pretty sure you're running out of memory. if you can use the imagemagick library you'll be alot better off.

Hi again,
Thanks for your suggestion...it did work installing ImageMagick
For anybody else that might have this problem, the ImageMagick version that worked on 1and1 servers is 6.3.3-10
Here's how to install it, based on a post from another site
"To install ImageMagik, first log in to your server with SSH. From the command line
first download and unzip the source:
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
Change into the ImageMagik source directory (this represents the version number as
of this writing):
cd ImageMagick-6.2.5
The following commands will install ImageMagik into your home directory.
--without-perl and --without-ttf will disable perl and TrueType support; without
these switches the install will fail. /path/to/your/htdocs/im should be replaced
with the actual path to your home directory, and the last part, im, can be changed
to anything. The command "pwd" will tell you the present working directory.
./configure --prefix=/path/to/your/htdocs/im --without-perl --without-ttf
make
make install
When these steps are completed ImageMagik will be installed in your home directory.
Please note that since this is a non-standard location, you may have to modify the
configuration of other programs that use it so that they can find it. Any
executables will also not be on the default executable search path"
Hope this helps somebody else
