Issue increase max file size upload on plesk server

[tn7000]

Server operating system version

Debian 11.3

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obisidian v18.0.43

Version	Plesk Obsidian v18.0.43_build1800220414.18 os_Debian 11.0
Betriebssystem	Debian 11.3

How can i increase the maximum file size restriction for backup uploads server wide?

-------------------
i made these changes:

/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini
post_max_size = 21474836480
upload_max_filesize = 21474836480

/etc/sw-cp-server/config
client_max_body_size 20000m;

/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/server/nginxPleskAccess.php
client_max_body_size 20000m;

i also changed the response/timeout times, to give the server/client enough time for processing larger files (max execution time + max input time)
-------------------

after these changes i do not get the "413 request entity too large" anymore, so it seems to work

the problem is, all files bigger than 2 gb get following error message during upload attempt >>> "Fehler: Es wurden keine Dateien zum Hochladen ausgewählt. Wählen Sie mindestens eine Datei aus." which translates to "error, no files for upload selected, please select at least one file"
all files smaller than 2 gb upload completely normally

Did you restart the psa service after applying?

# service psa restart

Be sure to log out and in again for the changes to apply in your panel

yeah, we even made full server reboots, since there are very few websites running on it currently ...
thank you for your efforts, but sadly we already did that

I have not found anything extra on this so far but for now you could try uploading the file to anywhere on the server and import it that way.
As Peter described here:

Resolved - 2Gb Upload Backup Limit

I have created a full backup of my server, and then, I dowloaded to my computer. If I try to upload it to another plesk server, (with the same version), It doen't work. My backup is 90Gb size, and I have modified the listed files: - /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini post_max_size=200G...

Thank you, that's how we are currently doing it.
But come on, we live in the year 2022 ... 2gb maximum limit? Seriously? Are we back in 2010? 90% of our projects are bigger than that ... a LOT bigger ...

I'm glad you can do it this way for now.
Il keep looking into this and maybe i will find something more.

I understand the frustration but it is weird that it is not working.
I use to do exactly as you did and it worked but this was over a year ago i might try it again on our new server soon and i will let you know incase it works.

Or hopefully someone else can shine some more light on this?

Thanks a lot for your efforts <3
I'm curious now, why it worked for you ...

This was on a Plesk Onyx installation so i have yet to test/need this on a Obsidian installation so far.
