Wiki File Upload - shawfdong/hyades GitHub Wiki

The goal is to raise the maximum MediaWiki File Upload size to 100 MB on Pleiades.

Table of Contents PHP nginx MediaWiki References

In /etc/php.ini, the values for max size of post data^[1] and maximum size of an uploaded file ^[2] are initially set as:

post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 2M

Let's change both to 100M:

post_max_size = 100M
upload_max_filesize = 100M

Restart php-fpm:

service php-fpm restart

By default, the maximum accepted body size of a client request for nginx is 1m.^[3] The value must be raised too; otherwise one will get 413 Request Entity Too Large errors when uploading big files. In /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf:

server {
    listen       443 ssl;
    server_name  pleiades.ucsc.edu;

    client_max_body_size 100m;

Restart nginx:

service nginx restart

It seems unnecessary to set $wgMaxUploadSize in LocalSettings.php:^[4]

$wgMaxUploadSize = 104857600; // 100 MB

1. ^ PHP - post-max-size
2. ^ PHP - upload_max_filesize
3. ^ Nginx - client_max_body_size
4. ^ MediaWiki - $wgMaxUploadSize
