Cannot upload a photo if the size is more than

[benoitjpnet]

If I upload a photo with a size superior to 1900kB it produce error.

Steps to reproduce:

• Get a big picture

• Compress to 1900kB jpegoptim -S1900

• Upload

• It works

• Get a big picture

• Keep it superior to 1900kB, i.e. 2000kB jpegoptim -S2000

• Upload

• It fails.

@benpro That is correct, the default limit is 15MB. The issue is likely PHP ini configuration POST_MAX_SIZE which default is 2MB iirc. Check that and your webserver configuration, make sure its at or above the MAX_PHOTO_SIZE of pixelfed.

@dansup
post_max_size is at 8M.
But upload_max_filesize is at 2M, that was the cause!

I wonder why there was no error in my error.log for that. Do you override errors?

If you use a reverse-proxy (Apache/Nginx) in front of the app run with Docker, you have to configure it to allow big bodies too. Otherwise the picture will be rejected.

This should probably be added to the instructions. Changing php.ini doesn't help if you don't also add

http {
    # […]
    client_max_body_size 100m;
    # […]
}

to nginx.conf.

Absolutely I got hung up on this. Some nice folks on IRC sorted me out and pointed me in the right direction. I was also made aware that I needed to configure the correct php.ini for FPM.

The same thing is happening to me, where I find the file in which I can modify the size?
Thanks in advance! @benpro

@mikail97 you want to edit php.ini which can usually be found in /etc/php or similar
