• Error when posting

    By John Grissett 2 decades ago

    Whenever I attempt to post an entry to DomBulletin on our servers, I get the message "File size exceeds maximum allowed". The same message can be posted through the client without problem… Can you help me understand this error and its origin a bit better? I have set the size limits in the configuration to 0 but I'm not sure as to what server settings are being referred to.



    My post tests were text only….

    • HTTP Configuration

      By Bruce Elgort/NotesOSS 2 decades ago

      Please check the HTTP section of your server document. There are settings that control the maximum file size allowed from browsers.

      • Same problem...

        By Don B Andrews 2 decades ago

        I have set my post size (in my internet Site document under DominoWebEngine/Post Data) to 8192 (kilobytes) and still get this error… I previously had it set to 10000 kilobytes, just in case the kilo part of the description was wrong, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.



        Is it something else?



        Thanks!

        • Try...

          By Michael Bourak 2 decades ago

          setting parameter in domBulletin config to blank or to a very high value…1.1 beta 1 has a bug (may also be in 1.0)



          PS : after changing param, exit from notes db before testing



          Sorry for this

          • still happens...

            By Don B Andrews 2 decades ago

            I set the max post size and max image size on the config doc to 0, did a dbcache flush on the server, and restarted the http task…



            Sorry, but not working as yet.. I'll dig into it - it's probably somewhere in the _doValidate() JS function… I'll try altering some of the values in there -

            I'm not sure why the value in the document.forms[0] validation is set hard coded to 14000 - or am I misunderstanding what the function is doing ?

            The problem is either in there, or the hidden field [AttachmentMaxSize] I'll have to look through the formula there, but it looks like if the gzip settings are configured improperly, there may be a problem…



            I'll try altering some of the config settings for gzip compression, and js lib caching and see if that makes a difference.

            • If you are using 1.1 beta...

              By Michael Bourak 2 decades ago

              I suggest you wait for about a week, 1.1 gold will be out then and this bug should be fixed

              • Thank you, Michael!

                By Don B Andrews 2 decades ago

                I did manage to figure it out, but it would be good to see this fixed 'officially'. there's a lot fo .js processing happening in those forms, so I had some difficulty following along, but managed to figure it out eventually.



                Keep up the great work!

          • Fixed... Config Doc problem.

            By Don B Andrews 2 decades ago

            Two problems:

            although I signed the db's with my ID, I forgot to sign the templates, so the signatures got wiped when design ran last night…

            I set the values in the config doc to be blank - not 0



            I messed around with it some more, and it appears that the config doc is the problem.. I tried putting it back to 0 or some other large value, and it won't work.



            Only works when value is blank.



            Hope that helps!
