But I am not unable to upload it from nodejs code. Here is my nodejs code :slight_smile:

Found something online, hope it helps.
The 413 status code indicates that the request was larger than the server is able to handle , either due to physical constraints or to settings. Usually, this occurs when a file is sent using the POST method from a form, and the file is larger than the maximum size allowed in the server settings.

Hi Yes, can you try :

headers: { 
                          'Authorization': 'Bearer '+token,
                          ...data.getHeaders()
                        },

Same here. Any evolution?

My strapi version 4.3.8

Iā€™m trying to upload a PDF file with 5MB. Before to know what was the problem, i thought the problem was CORS. But when i upload a PDF with 800kb, it works.

I added on my middlewares.js file the follow code:

// ...
{
    name: "strapi::body",
    config: {
      jsonLimit: "20mb",
      formLimit: "20mb",
      textLimit: "20mb",
      formidable: {
        maxFileSize: 20 * 1024 * 1024,
      },
    },
  },
//...

My server is configured with
Nginx Proxy + PM2

UPDATE

The error was not in Strapi, but in my NGINX web server as proxy reverse mode.

I increased the Max Body Size from 1mb to 10mb and the problem was solved.

nginx.conf

http {
    # ...
    client_max_body_size 10M;
    # ...
}

If you are using Nginx, follow these steps:

Open the configuration file for your Strapi server:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_strapi_server_conf

Inside the configuration, set the following:

server {
    # others settings...

    client_max_body_size 10M;

    # others settings...
}

After making these changes, restart the server:

sudo service nginx restart

And its all :slight_smile:
