configure upload file size error

[sunit...@gmail.com]

Dear all

1. While configuring following the server failed to upload large files. If following changes are made there is still an error. Is there any other configuration also to be made?

 In local.cfg, I increased upload file size by changing the local.cfg line

spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size = 512MB

to

spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size = 3GB

tried

spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size = -1

But it fails to upload large files

2. How to customise "Simple Item Page".  This is to add more elements to display

Any help is greatly appreciated.

For the Upload file error, it's possible that your Proxy (Apache or Nginx) has its own limits set for the size of file it will accept.

For Nginx, there's mention in this thread that "client_max_body_size" needs to be set if your want to upload larger files:  https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-tech/c/uPmBHCwbUsE/m/EtDFm2RxBgAJ

For Apache, there's mention in this thread that, if you are using a "Connector" you might need to set "disableUploadTimeout" and/or "connectionUploadTimeout" to avoid larger files timing out: https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-tech/c/FuhWNSQqzx4/m/jK-jR9UIBAAJ

Essentially, once you are trying to work with files that are larger than what your Proxy will allow, then you'll also need to modify settings at the Proxy level to avoid timeouts.

If those don't help, we'd need more information on the error.  The troubleshooting guide would be of use in finding underlying error messages: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove)
