quota exceed msg when no quotas are set

[sne4kywomb4t]

Hey everyone,  I'm struggling with user quotas.  I really just want them disabled but I'm not sure how to do it.  I've tried setting the quota to -1 and 0 in the user admin pages in share.  I also went as far as to try and disable it in the global.properties conf file.  This is a 3.4d install from the auto install package, community edition.  I haven't added any custom code, just normal site adds through share, etc.

I changed:

tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties:system.usages.enabled=true (to false)

and also added

system.usages.enabled=false to the global.prop file. 

Everytime I try to upload a file greater than 1MB, it says quota exceeded though.  I really just want to disable quotas entirely.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Just to ask the obvious question - did you restart Alfresco after changing the values in the config files? No ideas beyond that…

Hi

I'm having the same problem.  I can't upload files larger than 1MB to Alfresco Share.  I have set "system.usages.enabled=false" in alfresco-global.properties and get

21:40:26,974  INFO  [repo.usage.UserUsageTrackingComponent] Disabled - clear non-missing user usages …
21:40:26,980  INFO  [repo.usage.UserUsageTrackingComponent] Found 0 users to clear
21:40:26,981  INFO  [repo.usage.UserUsageTrackingComponent] … cleared non-missing usages for 0 users
‍‍‍‍‍

confirming it has taken effect.  I've even set the quota on my user account to 999GB and this makes no difference.

My user accounts are synced from LDAP and my Alfresco installation was upgraded 2 weeks ago to 3.4.d using a cold backup from 3.3 and WAR deployment.

Any help at all greatly appreciated!

Hi sne4kywomb4t

In our application, we should restrict the file upload size to 4MB. How to do that?
Can you tell me the changes you did to restrict the file upload size to 1MB.
Pls . suggest me what changes you did and where.

Thanks & Regards
Anil

Are you, by any chance, accessing Alfresco via nginx?
I had the same problem and it turned out that it was caused by nginx.

By default nginx limit the file upload size to 1Mb with the property "client_max_body_size"
I changed it to 10G and Alfresco works like a charm.

I guess that one year later you already solved your problem, however it might be interesting if someone face the same issue.

you are the man I'm accessing alfresco via NGINX and that did the trick
client_max_body_size
