Error 413 when uploading large files

[VGirol]

Hello,

I can not upload files larger than the maximum file size defined in php.ini.

For each chunk uploaded, the server responds with an error 413 : the \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidatePostSize middleware throws an Illuminate\Http\Exceptions\PostTooLargeException exception.

Environment Laravel Framework 10.48.10 Laravel Nova 4

Expected behavior I expected that large files can be uploaded regardless of the limit defined in php.ini.

Can you please check what the max post size is in your PHP config?

Just experience the same, has upload_max_filesize = 256M but cannot upload 71MB

Sorry, fixed after changing post_max_size also

@VGirol perhaps to add some info to your issue, we currently use https://www.npmjs.com/package/resumablejs under the hood. What this library does, in combination with https://github.com/pionl/laravel-chunk-upload, is allow us to split up huge files into smaller chunks to allow for faster uploads and slightly reduce the load on the user's browser.

What you could check is the configuration of your server, both PHP and Nginx/Apache/etc to allow for a minimum size of uploads to match the required chunkSize of the library.

The current chunkSize is set to 50MB, unfortunately we didn't account for customization of this value, but we will gladly accept any PR.

Please feel free to reopen the issue if the problem persists, and please make sure to add any relevant data which would help us debug this together.

Ok ! Thank you for your answer. I misunderstood the role of resumable.js. I thought it was used to bypass the minimum size of upload defined for the server and thus to allow upload of large files. My bad, And once again, thank you for the explanation.
