Error: request entity too large

Question

I\'m receiving the following error with express:

Error: request entity too large
    at module.exports (/Users/michaeljames/Documents/Projects/Proj/mean/node         


        

Answer 1

in my case .. setting parameterLimit:50000 fixed the problem

app.use( bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}) );
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
  limit: '50mb',
  extended: true,
  parameterLimit:50000
}));

Answer 2

2016, none of the above worked for me until i explicity set the 'type' in addition to the 'limit' for bodyparser, example:

  var app = express();
  var jsonParser       = bodyParser.json({limit:1024*1024*20, type:'application/json'});
  var urlencodedParser = bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended:true,limit:1024*1024*20,type:'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' })

  app.use(jsonParser);
  app.use(urlencodedParser);

Answer 3

In my case removing Content-type from the request headers worked.

Answer 4

If someone tried all the answers, but hadn't had any success yet and uses NGINX to host the site add this line to /etc/nginx/sites-available

client_max_body_size 100M; #100mb

Answer 5

In my case the problem was on Nginx configuration. To solve it I have to edit the file: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add this line inside server block:

client_max_body_size 5M;

Restart Nginx and the problems its gone

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Answer 6

for me following snippet solved the problem.

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
