[users@httpd] Max file size for upload
Hi All,
Is there some way I can specify max file size for
upload? any config settings available? I am getting
apache bridge error If I try to upload a file with
size > 2Mb.
Sorry, if this is a repeating question, but could not
locate info on net.
Thanks a lot in Advance.
Regards,
Nilesh.

Yes, Weblogic has error log , but it does not show any
specific error when the page cannot be dispplayed
error is thrown to client.
I had put input type ="hidden" before the type ="file"
line. Could you please suggest how do I need to
revise? Some extra care needs to be taken?
I was able to upload the filesize of 12 mb, but on
choose of submit of form, got an error of page cannot
be displayed. so looks like I need to do something
more on top of simply including the max_file_size
line.
As regards apache log, It said (32)Broken pipe: client
stopped connection before rflush completed.
I guess, this message probably means broken link betn
weblogic and apache!
Thanks and Regards,
Nilesh.

Does weblogic not have an error log? Is it possible to set it in debug mode,
so you can get detailed logs?

Well, how did that work? I hope the above isn't a cut-n-paste, because you
need to revise it if that is so. Also, I forgot to mention, that input field
must preceed the file field. The above is set to almost 10 MB, did you
"succeed" (ie. the browser didn't complain) in uploading a bigger file than
that?

1. Yes, the back-engine is weblogic with which the
communicatoin fails , but dunno why.
2. I tried and am using MAX_FILE_SIZE with hidden name
as below
<INPUT type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE>"
value="10000000">
3. jsp is basically an html page.
Thanks and Regards,

That is an Internet Explorer "error message", more correctly called "error
obscurity message", and doesn't say anything else than something went wrong.
Please disable "friendly error messages" (or similar) in the advanced
internet options, so you can see the real message Apache is returning. You
should have something in Apache's error log concerning this request.

Perhaps. I have about zero experience with your environment, so it is hard
to speculate on specific errors there. But, I assume that a "bridge error"
happens if something goes wrong when Apache is handing over the request to
the back-end engine (was it weblogic?) in which case it might be rejecting
the request, thus the error.
I don't know how to help you from here on. Have you tried the suggestion in
my previous e-mail, to include a hidden MAX_FILE_SIZE field in the form?
> I am uploading file via jsp page .
I assume that means an HTML page?

Re: [users@httpd] Max file size for upload

Hi!
Again the same activity of File upload but different
error:
Now, for the apache bridge problem, I changed the file
size check from 2MB to 20MB.
When I was throwing exception for file Size > 2MB, I
was getting apache bridge failure error. To fix this,
I changed the minimum size as 20MB (thus simply
ignored the file size).
So no more apache bridge failure error. However, this
time I got "page cannot be displayed error".
I have a strong feeling that Somewhere , somehow , the
apache connection breaks and the redirection to the
desired jsp page is not happening. but why?
Environment : weblogic 4.5.1
OS : Sun Solaris
IE6.0
I am uploading file via jsp page .
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Nilesh.

If this is an HTML form, you could have a hidden input file with the name
"MAX_FILE_SIZE" which value is the maximum size in bytes of any file
uploaded in the form. It is advisory to the client browser, and a good
browser will warn or prohibit the user from submitting the form if a file is
too big.

I think this is because before you can validate the data, the request must
be completed (ie. the whole file uploaded). And, semingly, the request times
out. According to the docs, Apache will only time out if it takes too long
between the TCP packets in a post request, and do not mention any time out
on the overall request. So, I don't know what is causing it, but apparently
your code doesn't have the chance to do anything in these cases. How long
does it take to upload a 2 MB file? Have you tested it locally or on a
high-speed connection?

Hi,
When I try to upload a file with size > 2Mb, I get
error mentioned below. This is the error that appears
on the client .
On the server, we have put a validation that if file
size > 1 Mb, simply throw an exception : "file size
greater than 1 Mb" . But instead of showing the
exception on the jsp page , it shows me apache bridge
failure error. The server does show the exception
properly in the log. So everything behaves fine on the
server. But somehow the exception is not being shown
properly on the jsp page rather communicated to jsp
page and brige failure message appears.
It is only in case of file upload that I am getting
brige failuire error. For other application level
exceptions (like invalid data ), It shows the error
properly.
The exact error is mentioned below:
Failure of server APACHE bridge:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POST timed out to the server xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build date/time: Jun 3 2002 12:30:39

Thanks and Regards,

I don't think there is any configuration directives regarding upload (POST)
requests, and I don't think Apache care for the size, so this might be a
more subtle error. Please provide a better error description; explaining in
detail what you are trying and what you are experiencing (what the client
says and what the server says). And also, do quote the exact error messages
you are getting.
There are methods for advicing the client the maximum file size, and the
target script's language usually has configuration for this as well, but I
doubt that is what you have in mind.
