413 Request Entity Too Large

georgehuang · 03-21-2021, 10:33 PM

When trying to add books from Content Server's browser UI, I almost always get "413 Request Entity Too Large" error. The entirety of the error message looks like:

Code:

Failed to upload the file: fyodor-dostoevsky_crime-and-punishment_constance-garnett.epub

Failed to communicate with "/cdb/add-book/2/n/fyodor-dostoevsky_crime-and-punishment_constance-garnett.epub/Calibre", with status: [413 (error)] Request Entity Too Large

413 Request Entity Too Large

nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)

The books I have been trying to upload are no larger than normal, and I can add them through command-line or Calibre's desktop UI just fine. And I think I might have successfully uploaded 2 books or so in the past, but mostly the uploading just fails with the above message.

Check the size limits on http requests in nginx.conf.

Did not know it was default to only 1MB. Added the following to nginx.conf:

Code:

http {
    ...
    client_max_body_size 100M;
}

And it works now. Thanks!
