[users@httpd] Request Entity Too Large
Hi everyone,
We are suddenly having the following problem on several of our servers, and
I have not been able to find a solution on the internet that has resolved
it. Our configuration is the following.
Apache httpd 2.2.3 running on RHEL5
Tomcat 7, also running on RHEL5
When we try to upload a file bigger than a few megabytes, we get the
following error:
The requested resource
/dse/submissions/100103040/add_file
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data
provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit
I've tried to figure out what the maximum size file is, but the problem
will occur on a file, and then we try the same file a few minutes later and
it works.
I tried setting LimitRequestBody to 0, which I believe is the default
anyway, but it had no effect either way.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
Larry Cohen

The first thing to check is if it is an HTTPD error or a Tomcat error.
You haven't explicitly said this, but I am guessing you are using HTTPD as
a reverse proxy.
Check the Tomcat logs first. If the 413 shows up there, it is a problem
with Tomcat and not with HTTPD.
Check the HTTPD error log also to make sure the errors are actually in it.
It is also possible if there are any upstream proxies (like an office web
filter) that one of them is generating the error.
If the error is in the HTTPD logs and not in the Tomcat logs, you will
probably need to dump the traffic using mod_dumpio or tcpdump and compare a
complete and error request (mod_logio will tell you the sizes, but not the
contents - you could use it as a starting point if you don't want to dump
all the traffic).

I am not familiar enough with Tomcat to say for sure. It might also depend
on your application.

Hi Yehuda,
Am I looking at catalina.out for the 413 error, or some other log on the
Tomcat server?
Thanks,

Forgot to mention. The httpd error code is 413.

If you are sure the problem is with nss, you will probably get more help on
their mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/mod_nss-list

It seems that the problem I'm having started when we went to mod_nss from
mod_ssl. In ssl.conf we were able to set the sslrenegbuffersize to a high
number. I can't seem to find an equivalent to the parameter that will work
in any of our conf files. The httpd.conf is including rewrite.conf and
nss.conf, but if I put the sslrenegbuffersize in any of these files and
restart httpd, it doesn't start up.
Would anyone know what the equivalent parameter is in nss.conf, or the
other conf files that we are using?
Thanks,
Larry Cohen
