<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>

<p>Got an answer here. It was me the problem the whole long. I read through my error logs (thanks Brad on that!) and found out that I had that the my php's gd extension wasn't active. I activated and I now have it working! 
Thanks for all the help!</p>

@João Gonçalves can you explain, how exactly you activated it? I run into the same problem but don't know how to activate the gd extension.

<p>I'm getting my nerves on this because I can't find what's stopping from uploading. I simply choose a file, the loading show and get itself complete, but it simply stops at the 100%. I ran into my browser's console and this shows up:</p>

<p>Safari:
<strong>"Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)"</strong></p>

<p>Chrome:
"Failed to load resource: <strong><a href="http://craft.dev/index.php/admin/actions/assets/uploadFile" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://craft.dev/index.php/admin/actions/assets/uploadFile</a></strong> the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)"</p>

<p>Please help me to figure this out... A huge thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I'm running the website on localhost and using AMPPS and Navicat for the DB.</p>

Anything logged in your `craft/storage/runtime/logs` folder or your Apache error logs?

I'm getting my nerves on this because I can't find what's stopping from uploading. I simply choose a file, the loading show and get itself complete, but it simply stops at the 100%. I ran into my browser's console and this shows up:

Safari:
**"Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)"**

Chrome:
"Failed to load resource: **<http://craft.dev/index.php/admin/actions/assets/uploadFile>** the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)"

Please help me to figure this out... A huge thanks in advance!
