Back ForwardTroubleshooting — HTTP 413 User attempted to load a file...

Troubleshooting topics

Symptom

An interactive user receives an error message similar to:

HTTP Status 413  — User attempted to upload a file larger than zzMB

Analysis

An interactive user attempted to upload a file larger that a limit established in the prconfig.xml file, or the default limit of 25 megabytes. This limit applies to all attempts to upload a file, including:

Action

This file limit is enforced to constrain storage and network traffic demands of your application.

If this upload request is legitimate, you can increase the value for the Initialization/MaximumFileUploadSizeMB parameter in the prconfig.xml file.

TipIf you occasionally need to upload a ZIP archive that exceeds the limit, you can use external File Transfer Protocol facilities (rather than the Import Archive tool) to copy a ZIP file to the ServiceExport directory.
