I use eGroupware-fudforum
when I upload a file more than 500Kb(approximately), I will get a HTTP 413 Error:
Request entity too large!
The POST method does not allow the data transmitted, or the data volume exceeds the capacity limit.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster
Error 413

I have changed php.ini, enlarging max allowed uploading file size to 10M, and the forum's allowed size is more than 5 Mb. I guess there might be something wrong with apache's configuration file.

But I didn't find anything related to this in apache's configuration file. I'd appreciate anyone who gives me a hint. Thanks!

The error does indeed sound like an Apache error, when PHP or forum upload limit is hit you simply don't get the file upload and not a 413 error. Check your apache config for limits imposed on post size, perhaps you are running mod_security or similar module.

thanks for your attention!

I don't understand http.conf well, so I searched for ``post'' and ``limits''. However I didn't find anything meaningful to this error. Here are all the modules, perhaps, which may be useful for you to judge where the problem lies.

It is almost untouched since apache has been installed.

I found the solution Smile

sigh ...

It is the apache configure file, of course!
But it is not in httpd.conf! httpd.conf reads a lot of files from /etc/httpd/conf.d, and there is a php.conf.

There is a constraint for uploading file size:

<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
LimitRequestBody 10485760
</Files>

The original size is 512Kb, now it is 10Mb, and uploading is OK.

Google really helps me Smile

Hope it is useful for your further reference.
