Ghost Import fail: Import failed Request is larger than the maximum file size the server allows

[Torqu3Wr3nch]

What a fortuitous event. I just responded to someone with the same problem today:

Geez. I don’t remember the exact structure of the import- is it just a .json and you’re saying you have a 3.3 GB JSON file?

Are you using NGINX for your web server?

If so, with an import that large, I suspect NGINX is just rejecting it. Go to the NGINX config for your site (/etc/nginx/sites-enabled) and look for a line in the server block that says something like: “client_max_body_size 5M;”

Change it (and if it’s not there, add):

client_max_body_size 5G;

Then restart NGINX with sudo systemctl restart nginx .

From: Import failed - I cannot import a migration archive, it fails!

For you though, I’d probably do something more reasonable, like 500M
