You don't say how your users are attaching to the service, but if its via SSL and Apache, then there is a buffer size limit that does cause problems and the default is 128kb.

If you are uploading via SSL check the entry SSLRenegBufferSize in your Apache settings. I have mine set to 104860000 which is about 100Mb. Obviously you can go higher if you need.

Good luck

Thank you very much! I'm using Nginx instead of apache, but the same principle applied. I set "client_max_body_size 100M;" in my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf in the http section, reloaded nginx and the file upload problem went away.

Thank you again!
