Uploads fail about django-filebrowser HOT 5 CLOSED

local or on a production server? you didn´t set limitrequestbody? what exactly do you mean with "it fails"?

max upload size is limited to 10MB:
https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser/blob/master/filebrowser/settings.py#L95

maybe this is good to start with debugging:
https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser/blob/master/filebrowser/sites.py#L475
https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser/blob/master/filebrowser/templates/filebrowser/upload.html#L55

the file-upload we´re using:
http://valums.com/ajax-upload/

from django-filebrowser.

Local server works fine with any file. It's the production server that is having issues. When I say it fails, I mean the upload screen just displays an error message that says Failed.

I overrode the max upload size to 100MB.

I'll have a look at the two places you suggested.

It seems to be an nginx issue. The upload-file handler comes back as 413 entity too large. Not quite sure how to fix this yet.

I only know that happening with limitrequestbody (but that´s apache, of course). not sure about nginx though.

Perfect, problem solved. I had a look at LimitRequestBody directive in Apache and found the nginx version. By default, nginx only allows 1MB of uploads. Here, I set it to 100MB.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name  example.com;

    location / {
        client_max_body_size 100M;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888;
        ...
    }

}

Might be a good idea to start server-related set up page? Thanks for your help!
