MaxRequestLen error

Hi,

I have a client who encountered a 500 Internal error while uploading a file on the server, through a Joomla! extension managing repositories.

The Apache error log reported this : mod_fcgid: HTTP request length 132332 (so far) exceeds MaxRequestLen (131072), referer: http://www.euf.eu.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_phocadownload&v...

Is there a special setting I should change somewhere ?

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Apparently version of mod_fcgid in Debian 6 lowers the default limit on upload size from 1 GB to 128k :-(

Virtualmin 3.85 will fix this, but until then you can go to Services -> Configure Website -> Edit Directives , and add a line like :

FcgidMaxRequestLen 1000000000

then click Save, and Apply Changes.

Thank you for the super fast report.

I added the directive and now the upload works.

Regarding Virtualmin 3.85, will the upgrade be performed through the usual interface (in System information - Package updates) or otherwise ?

Yes, when 3.85 comes out in a day or two it will be available via the regular upgrade process.
