PDF file fails to be UPLOADED

[MohamedAmineDHIAB]

Dear WebWhiz Team,

When trying to create a chatbot and uploading
This PDF to use as a context for the chatbot, the upload fails with the following screen pop-up:

By looking at the console logs, it seems like the request size is too large:

However, I wouldn't consider 32 pages or 1.8 Mb (the PDF file used for tests) as large 🤔 . Some LLMs have very large context window size that exceeds 100s of pages.

I am looking forward to a solution for this issue and thanking you in advance! 😊

Hello,

To resolve this issue, you need to update the Nginx configuration for the frontend. You should modify the frontend/nginx.conf file by adding the client_max_body_size 50M; directive within the location ~ ^/api(/?)(.*) block.

1. Open the frontend/nginx.conf file in your preferred text editor.
2. Locate the location ~ ^/api(/?)(.*) block.
3. Add the client_max_body_size 50M; directive within this block.

The updated configuration should look like this:

upstream web {
  server web:3000;
}

server {
  listen 80;

  location ~ ^/api(/?)(.*) {
    proxy_pass http://web/$2$is_args$args;
    client_max_body_size 50M;
  }

  location / {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html/;
    include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
  }
}
