Request Entity Too Large PHP

In one of my CakePHP site, I got this error.

Request Entity Too Large

I don't know what is the problem. I think the data that I am posting through form is too large. I searched this in search engine and got that I will have to increase post_max_size. Be default I think it is set to 8M.

But don't know how to increase post_max_size in CakePHP and what to do for it?

Thanks.

Solution 1:

post_max_size and upload_max_filesize are PHP.ini settings. You can set them either directly in PHP.ini or via ini_set. I don't know if this can be set with some Cake-internal tools as well.

However, the error could also be caused by a set limit of the RequestBodyLength in Apache (assuming you are running under Apache).

Solution 2:

I tried all of these answers and the only thing that worked for me was to tune up the SSL Buffer Size. You can set this by...

<Directory /my/blah/blah>
...
  # Set this to something big big...
  SSLRenegBufferSize 10486000
...
</Directory>

...and then just restart Apache to take effect. (Found this at: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2085574)
