[opencms-dev] FW: FW: Max File Upload Size.

[Rüdiger Kurz]

Hi Nick,

do you use a OpenCms >= v8? And is the assumption correct that the 413 
Request Entity too large does now come from tomcat?

OpenCms features different upload variants that can be selected in the 
workplace user preferences. To make sure the upload variant you choose 
does not cause the problem, please try all possible variants (GWT-Upload 
/ Basic-Upload / Upload-Applet). If all of them end up with 413 the 
server configuration is perhaps responsible.

Note: Run your tests for GWT-Upload with a browser that supports form 
based HTML5 upload e.g. Webkit not FF or IE

I've gone all the way through the config Apache2 ->   mod_proxy_ajp ->   Tomcat6 and suspected just about everything along the way. After tweaking each config with the respective max file settings I'm beginning to wonder whether OpenCMS is actually able to handle file uploads of this magnitude.
