So, do the timestamps in the logfile correspond to times you tried to upload
files?
error_log is the main Apache error log file (by default anyway) and is the
most likely one to contain the answer.
error.log.2 would be an old log file, as further indicated by the timestamps
on the errors you posted being several weeks ago.
Upload a file. Check the end of error_log for new messages.

What I'm trying to steer you towards is the Apache error log (which you seem
to have found now, or at least are close), because I bet you have an error in
there similar to:
[Wed Jan 25 23:14:11 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.14] Requested
content-length of 3191154 is larger than the configured limit of 3000000,
referer: http://server.localhost/~andyh/file_upload.php
This is the most likely cause of the problem I can think of that matches the
symptoms you describe.
