Question

i am trying to upload a file directly to amazon s3, however after the upload completes i get the following error:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

<Error>
    <Code>EntityTooLarge</Code>
<Message>
    Your proposed upload exceeds the maximum allowed size
</Message>
<ProposedSize>5245254</ProposedSize>
<RequestId>645D7BA0DCC454D9</RequestId>

</HostId>
    <MaxSizeAllowed>5242880</MaxSizeAllowed>
</Error>

There seems to be a limit of 5242880 bytes for MaxSizeAllowed how can i change this limit from amazon’s side. thanks for the help

Answer 1

I ran into this same problem using the carrierwave_direct gem and found this line in the documentation (placed in the carrierwave.rb initializer):

config.max_file_size     = 10.megabytes        # defaults to 5.megabytes

By changing the default I was able to upload a larger file.
