[ckan-dev] Problems uploading files in CKAN

[Adil Hasan]

Hello Andrew,
thanks for the quick response. We have the max_resourse_size set to 10GB
and we have the client_max_body_size in nginx set high as well. What we
see is that sometimes ~500MB is transferred, sometimes, 3GB. All
different amounts of data are transferred before the web interface
claims that the transfer has completed when it hasn't and the web
interface page appears to be frozen (at least the Add button is inactive
which suggests that some part of CKAN assumes the upload is still
ongoing).
many thanks,
adil
