2. Select the file and click 'upload'
3. Watch the system grind around for a while without the screen changing
3. Receive the error 'You are not authorised to go there!'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected the database would upload

This issue is caused by a hard-coded file size limit (500mb) being exceeded; 
the error message for the user needs to say instead something along the lines 
of "This file is larger than the current upload limit for SQL files. Please 
contact support to arrange for this file to be imported".

Can we increase the size limit to 1GB now that the service is live?
Then pass this issue on to Meriel so that she can edit the error message that 
the user is send.

I think having some sort of upload limit is probably a good thing, it just 
needs a more sensible error message for the user.

For actually raising the limit, see related issue 625

I think the upload issue is now being looked at in #625 - but we're left with 
the long period of the system grinding around without giving any indication 
that things are happening, plus the odd error message if something does go 
wrong.

Could we display a 'processing' message as soon as somebody clicks the 'upload' 
button (provided there isn't a valid file selected)?
