# Big File Upload Fails ## Tags * assigned: fredm * priority: high * type: bug * status: open, started * keywords: qc, quality control ## Description Trying to upload big files (>= 500MB) fails quietly, dropping the user back to the home page. ### Troubleshooting This issue is reproducible on https://bioart.io/ but not locally. There is an error in the Apache2 logs of the form: ``` Broken pipe: [client 41.90.70.47:1460] AH01084: pass request body failed to 127.0.0.1:5050 (127.0.0.1), referer: https://bioart.io/ ``` It seems like the issue is the Apache2 configurations. I tried adding the following to the VirtualHost definition, to no avail ``` Timeout 900 ProxyTimeout 900 KeepAliveTimeout 900 LimitRequestBody 53687091200 ``` but it does not seem to change matters.
