DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE exceeded

[gtondapu]

Hi all,

Can someone please help me resolve this issue?

ERROR:django.security.RequestDataTooBig:Request body exceeded settings.DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE

From my tethys app, I am sending json to a request and it does not work because of it's size. The size of json input varies according to different criteria. Please let me know if you have questions.

Take a look at the documentation for the Django DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE setting: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#data-upload-max-memory-size

The documentation for the FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE may be helpful as well: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE

You set these settings in your portal_config.yml file in the settings section:

settings:
  DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE: 123456789

You can check the setting using the tethys settings command:

tethys settings --get DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE

or if you want to see a list of all settings:

tethys settings --get

Here is the documentation on the settings command for reference: http://docs.tethysplatform.org/en/stable/tethys_cli/settings.html

I have tried this in portal_config.yml file inside .tethys folder.

tethys settings --get DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE

This command does not reflect it

That worked when I added it outside settings block. Thank you both!

@gtondapu could you clarify what the fix was?

[gtondapu]

version: 1.0
name:
apps: {}
DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE: 123456789
settings:
SECRET_KEY: ...
site_content: {}

This was the fix. It worked when I added the variable outside the settings block in portal_ config.yaml.

[ezrajrice]

version: 1.0
name:
apps: {}
DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE: 123456789
settings:
SECRET_KEY: ...
site_content: {}

This was the fix. It worked when I added the variable outside the settings block in portal_ config.yaml.

@gtondapu I'm glad that worked for you. For future reference, this worked because the non-changeable settings.py file expected this format for version 3.0. Starting in Tethys version 3.1, this was changed for consistency that all Django settings be listed inside the settings section, see Tethys Portal Configuration Docs If you decide to update to a newer version, you will need to modify your portal_config.yml file to reflect the new format as shown in Nathan's first response.

Example:

# Portal Level Config File

# see tethys documentation for how to setup this file
version: 1.0
name:
apps: {}
settings:
  SECRET_KEY: ...
  DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE: 123456789
site_content: {}

+1 to @ezrajrice's comment. The reason your solution worked @gtondapu is because of a bug in Tethys 3.0. I really recommend that you upgrade to at least Tethys 3.1 to avoid headaches in the future.
