Lighttpd, Error with upload, [413 - Request Entity Too Large]

Question

I posted thread on Ubuntu forums couple of months ago but I never got any responds from them... So today I replied there and posting a new thread here, since I have a feeling I wont get a reply there again...

Here is the thread on board >>

New reply I added today >>

So obviously there is a issue with file size... At least that's what I concluded from my tests... Since I started this thread error persisted, not only on server used in this thread but on last 3-4 servers I used... Just can't fix the damn thing...

No problem uploading 63 kB file... I generated file like this, downloaded and uploaded...

dd if=/dev/zero of=output63.dat bs=63K count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
64512 bytes (65 kB) copied, 0.000119143 s, 541 MB/s

Error when uploading file created with dd, size 65 kB

dd if=/dev/zero of=output.dat bs=65K count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
66560 bytes (67 kB) copied, 0.000133106 s, 500 MB/s

Again error when uploading 64kB file...

dd if=/dev/zero of=output64.png bs=64K count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
65536 bytes (66 kB) copied, 0.000135499 s, 484 MB/s

I used this upload script to test >>

upload.php

Filename:

upload_file.php

0) { echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "
"; } else { echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "
"; echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "
"; echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB
"; echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "
";

if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
  {
  echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
  }
else
  {
  move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
  "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
  echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
  }
}   } else   {   echo "Invalid file";   } ?>

These are my php.ini settings for file sizes and post limits

post_max_size   256M
upload_max_filesize 256M
upload_tmp_dir  no value
memory_limit    1024M

Folder is chmoded to 777 and upload works fine with files less than 64 kB in size...

Lighttpd configuration

server.upload-dirs = ("/var/www/tmp")
server.max-request-size = 2097152
server.network-backend = "writev"

In case there is need for OS info...

cat /etc/*-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS"

VERSION="12.04.3 LTS, Precise Pangolin"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu precise (12.04.3 LTS)"
VERSION_ID="12.04"

Damn I have no idea anymore... Anyone? Anything?

Day 3

I installed Wordpress 3.8. I am unable to add any media.

I am receiving HTTP error, 413 when uploading from Upload New Media page.

I tried with disabled plugins, chmoding to 777, 755, 644 /wp-content/uploads folder and all of its sub-directories.

I always end up with 413 :/
