Increase size of attachment when using web interaface to attach items

Hello,

I need to know how to increase the size of attachments when using the web interface to attach items to the ticket.

Steps to follow:

Click any ticket number > click Actions in the top right corner >(drop down menu) click Reply

Click Browse underneath the big message box. Find your item , select it, and click open.

Then click Update Ticket.

The item I am trying to upload is a “.exe” file that is 34 MB

It doesn’t return an error on RT just doesn’t attach anything. I haven’t checked the Linux logs yet but I know there has to be an RT Config setting that will enable this.

PS#### I have already adjusted the settings for the mail and it doesn’t work for the web interface.

V/R,

Hello,

Thank you for the information.

I am just very confused on where to update this. The link you gave helps me understand why I need to make changes but doesn’t really tell me where.

I am not good with Linux so I don’t understand where mod_fcgi is?

Can you point me in the direction of where I need to make the change?

Have you checked the FcgidMaxRequestLength value for your server? In older versions of mod_fcgid, the value was set to 1GB-it’s much, much smaller by default in versions since 2.3.6. There’s a bit more information here:

So I have checked my fcgid.conf file in mods-available and it is set properly

Is there any way to make the database bigger?

I’d suggest hosting the executable elsewhere and including a link in the ticket, rather than sending a 34MB executable via e-mail. Many mail servers won’t like the extension even if it accepts 34MB attachments.> On Aug 5, 2015, at 10:01 AM, Daniel Moore Daniel.Moore@osbornewood.com wrote:

I think you might also need to change a setting in your RT config. This doc might be helpful: https://www.bestpractical.com/docs/rt/4.0/RT_Config.html

As a tangent, at one point, a colleague of mine mentioned looking at Dropbox integration with RT. I could put you in touch with them if you were interested in finding out more.

Hope this helps a little. Good luck.
