[opencms-dev] Maximal file upload size

[Thomas Gagné]

Is it only an HTTP bottleneck or a limitation?

The website I'm trying to load is 333MB and putting it in 
/WEB-INF/export/modules returns tracebacks when I try to upload it as a 
module.  I tried then creating a new module and am uploading file to it 
that are zipped and telling OpenCMS to unzip them as they're uploaded. 
 This seems to work for zips < 15MB, but largers ones give up with 
tracebacks (below).

Is there an official way to import existing websites, large or small? 
 It seems odd to me that OpenCMS would not have a utility for importing 
websites that already exist.  Perhaps I'm not finding it or there's 
something missing from my .zip file of the website?
