Question HTTP 413 error with Ubuntu Apache/SVN

[MarkGorst]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Obsidian v18.0.66_build1800250106.19 os_Ubuntu 24.04

There are similar threads but none seem to address my specific problem. I have an Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS server which is configured as an Apache/SVN server. All worked fine until installing Plesk Obsidian v18.0.66_build1800250106.19 os_Ubuntu 24.04. If I now submit a file larger than 1Mb to the SVN server I get "Unexpected HTTP status 413 'Request Entity Too Large'" error.

Somewhere there is a configuration limit - but I can't work out where. php.ini has it set at 2Gb.

Some solutions suggest going through the "Domains" menu - this is not a webserver, it's an SVN repository and just uses the IP address, not a domain name, so I can't follow that route.

I have found many similar issues, but none quite have the fix I require.

Can you direct me to the setting I need to modify to either increase or remove the file upload size limit please.

The main problem here is installing and configuring Apache SVN before installing Plesk. Plesk utilizes both Apache and Nginix to control the web sites so a lot of the configs you've originally had for your SVN would had been overwritten quite a bit. It's usually best to either install Plesk first then add a new Apache config in /etc/apache2/conf-available and/or /etc/apache2/sites-available or better yet keep the 2 services completely separated on 2 different servers.

In either case, you'll need to make a new config in /etc/apache2/conf-available then to enable the config you can either do a2enconf newConfigFile or make a symbolic link to it to /etc/apache2/conf-enabled (or you can just make the conf directly in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled but that isn't proper).

You can refer to (Plesk for Linux) Apache and Nginx Configuration Files for more information about files locations (replace httpd with apache2 since you're using a Debian based OS and not RHEL and so you'll need to double check the path of everything as well).
