Request Entity Too Large
The only thing that would work for me was to tune up the SSL Buffer Size. You can set this by...
<Directory /my/blah/blah>
...
# Set this to something big...
SSLRenegBufferSize 10486000
...
</Directory>
...and then just restart Apache for the change to take effect. (Found this at: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2085574)
You can also use "Location /" to simply apply the setting to a whole VirtualHost:
<VirtualHost *:443>
# ...
<Location />
SSLRenegBufferSize 101048600
</Location>
# ...
</VirtualHost>
After you are over the raising of PHP's memory_limit
, post_max_size
and upload_max_filesize
, I would like to recommend you some articles related to the topic, maybe one of them solves the problem.
I found this post on Server Fault:
https://serverfault.com/questions/79741/php-apache-post-limit/79745#79745
sybreon suggests to double-check the
Content-Length
, and - citing - "ensure that you are directly connecting to Apache and not through either a proxy or a reverse-proxy. Some reverse-proxies place a cap on the maximum size of a request as a sort of security measure. So, you may want to check that as well as your Apache logs to ensure that nothing else is going on."sybreon also posted this link: Apache 413 error problems.
The following is only applicable if you have mod_ssl module turned on in Apache. (Otherwise this setting can cause a server crash.)
Citing the article:
"I was using Apache SSL client certificates, which have a limit of 128K, and if re-negotiation has to happen, a larger POST will fail.
This Bugzilla posting had the clues - You have to set the following as DEFAULTS for your SSL server, not just the directory.SSLVerifyClient require
Otherwise it forces a renegotiation of some sort, and fails with a 413 error."
The previous article also mentioned the LimitRequestBody directive.
A guy says here that the appropriate setting of this directive solved his problem..
I hope one of these settings solves this problem!
My server is Apache. It was mod_security module which was preventing post of large data approximately 171 KB. I did below configurations in mod_security.conf
SecRequestBodyNoFilesLimit 10486000
SecRequestBodyInMemoryLimit 10486000
