Hi all, I am trying to setup an error\_page for 413 (Too large uploads). It works perfectly fine on localhost, where it doesn’t work on my remote staging machine. There is no change in the configuration file (except for the hostname setting). When I try to upload a file larger than the limit (which is the default 1MB) in case of the remote machine, the request gets aborted, i.e. Firefox throws up the “Connection was reset” error page. In the case of localhost, however, I get the appropriate error file. The error file permissions are proper. I see the 413 log line in access.log and the corresponding entry in error.log in both setups. It is the exact same build (0.8.52) on both machines. Any pointers to troubleshoot this? Would any other data from my side be useful to better understand/diagnose the issue here? – Regards, Srirang G Doddihal Brahmana. The LIGHT shows the way. The WISE see it. The BRAVE walk it. The PERSISTENT endure and complete it. I want to do it all ALONE. ---

(russian language) explanation: [Почему невозможно корректно ограничить размер закачиваемого файла](http://sysoev.ru/web/upload.html) try translate it to english via google translate. – Best regards, Gena ---

mr srirang, ``` you are using nginx upload module right. 413 will be thrown when ``` the request entity too large .set the field like this ``` upload_max_output_body_len 0; 0 means there will be no restriction for the file size u r ``` uploading .check in ur remote machine config .if u did nt specify the above .the default will be 100kb. and another thing there is no file limit .u can change to whatever the size u want to upload. if u still get that connection was reset try like this comment the access\_log path in your config file then upload may be because access permission in writing log file.
