This file is too large

[Vsekraski (Андрей Кожевников)]

Hello. I’m unable to upload videos, even files as small as 2MB. It says “This file is too large.” How can I resolve this issue?

You need to update app.yml too.

How, please? I have the ispmanager panel connected.

Here’s the documentation:

Change the maximum attachment/upload size

This guide explains how to change the maximum attachment upload size for self-hosted Discourse instances. Required user level: System Admin The default attachment upload size limit is 10MB If you are self-hosting Discourse and need to allow uploads larger than 10 MB, follow the steps below. Changing the upload size Connect to your server: Use SSH to access your server’s command line interface. Edit the configuration file: Navigate to the configurati…

I don’t understand how to complete this step because I access the server via the ispmanager panel.

4. Save your changes:

• Press Ctrl+X to exit, then Y to confirm, and Enter to save the changes.

5. Rebuild the Discourse instance:

• Run the following command in the /var/discourse directory:

./launcher rebuild app

6. Update site settings:

• Go to the /admin/site_settings/category/files section in the Discourse admin panel.

• Change max attachment size kb and max image size kb to your desired size (e.g., 20 MB). In the settings interface, you can enter a value and select the unit of measurement (KB, MB, or GB) from the dropdown list.

Both parameters are limited by the nginx client_max_body_size value, which is controlled by the upload_size parameter set in step 3. Site settings cannot exceed this limit.

You need ssh access via the terminal.

5. Rebuild the Discourse instance:

• Run the following command in the /var/discourse directory:

./launcher rebuild app

I’m working on this step. The site isn’t working yet. How long does it take?

[Vsekraski (Андрей Кожевников)]

The update completed, but the site still hasn’t started working (

[merefield (Robert)]

please share your build logs, there should be an error if it failed. look up the log history to find the specific error.

[Vsekraski (Андрей Кожевников)]

Is this?

[Vsekraski (Андрей Кожевников)]

Please take a look at what can be done. I’m very worried if the site can’t be restored.

[Vsekraski (Андрей Кожевников)]

Server restarted, now the error is different

[merefield (Robert)]

why did you control C?

and please, paste the test into a code snippet section, screenshots of terminals kind of a bit hard to read

[Vsekraski (Андрей Кожевников)]

I decided to increase the maximum file upload size myself.

What can be done now?

[merefield (Robert)]

rebuild again and don’t cancel it!

[Vsekraski (Андрей Кожевников)]

Do you mean to repeat everything from scratch? Everything according to the instructions?

• Run the following command in the /var/discourse directory:

./launcher rebuild app

[Vsekraski (Андрей Кожевников)]

That didn’t help ((

[Vsekraski (Андрей Кожевников)]

What command do I need to enter to launch the site (

Who can help restore the forum? I can send server access credentials via private message. I put so much effort into creating the forum (and broke everything.
