Error:
You probably tried to upload a file that is too large. Please refer to the documentation for a workaround for this limit.
It sounds like you’re encountering an issue with file upload size limits in your Laravel application. Here are some steps to address this issue:
Update PHP Configuration:
- Edit your
php.ini
file to increase the upload size limits. Look for the following settings and increase their values:
upload_max_filesize = 50M
post_max_size = 50M
Restart your web server to apply these changes.
Update .htaccess File:
- If you’re using Apache, you can also set these limits in your
.htaccess
file:
php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
php_value post_max_size 50M
Update Nginx Configuration:
- If you’re using Nginx, you can increase the client body size limit in your Nginx configuration file:
client_max_body_size 50M;
Restart Nginx to apply these changes.
Update Laravel Configuration:
- In your Laravel project, you can set the maximum file size for validation in your request classes or controller:
$request->validate([
'file' => 'required|file|max:51200', // 50MB in kilobytes
]);
Check Web Server Settings:
- Ensure your web server settings do not have a lower file size limit configured than what you set in your PHP configuration.
Increase Execution Time:
- You might also need to increase the max execution time if uploading large files takes longer:
max_execution_time = 300
