hello hugo

i create a new topic because the fist was closed [www.hiawatha-webserver.org]. i try to change a lot of parameters in the hiawatha config but nothing change, i upgrade to 9.7 and it the same thing. i can't sent a file bigger than 20 or 30 Mo.

my config is a debian 6 server with apache web server and owncloud connected on my lan. if i connect (http) directly on it i can send files bigger than 300 Mo.

i use hiawatha 9.7 on an debian 6 server connected to a DMZ. i only use it as a https reverse proxy and nothing else. all seem to work fine. i can access to all the site it proxying. (webmail, owncloud ... ) but if i need to load a big file on owncloud, bigger than 10 or 20 Mo i can't. The transfer stop in less than a second.

In the hiawatha.log i got

Fri 05 Sep 2014 23:01:55 +0200|Hiawatha v9.7 started.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|Fri 05 Sep 2014 23:02:05 +0200|Maximum request size reached
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.|Fri 05 Sep 2014 23:02:11 +0200|Silent client disconnected

normally i m been kicked but i disable it on the config file.

here it my config file, do you think there is a mistake in it. i change it so much that i finaly a little lost

Hiawatha version: 9.7
Operating System: Debian 6

I will look at it when I have the time for it. I'm quite busy atm.

Hi Hugo

OK thanks

lionel

Did you also check the PHP settings? For example post_max_size?

hi Hugo

well in fact there is no PHP installed on the server who host hiawata as i use it only as a reverse proxy to redirect the URL from a DMZ to an other webserver who host apache whith PHP. in the lan to host owncloud.
if i acces on ouwncloud directly whitout usin the proxy i can send file up to 520 MO ( as it's define by default on owncloud). if i m connect from the WAN , using the proxy i cant sen file up to around 20 or 30 Mo

regards.
