When I try to upload file .djvu which size is 115Mb with [[Special:Upload]] I get the error "413 Request Entity Too Large". Although uploadpage says that permitted size to 1000Mb. How to upload this file?

It's not right that in the [[Special:Upload]] written about the limit of 1000 MB, but its the real limit is 100...
I enabled in preferences the Wizard and "Chunked uploads", did upload via a wizard, but after it shows the next tab with error without buttons ''back'' or ''forward'' ([http://s018.radikal.ru/i519/1510/eb/f28b2c351540.png screenshot]). If press the "back" in browser, then will drop form and need be to reupload file, but will be the same error. Therefore this problem I not use the wizard from summer. Yesterday, other user also tried to upload the file, with the same erroneous result.

Thanks for filing the bug.

There are three distinct issues here:

  • You get an ugly "413 Request Entity Too Large" error, instead of something pretty informing you that you're trying to upload a file that is too big. This is T115984.
  • Special:Upload lies that files up to 1000 MB are allowed, while the limit is actually 100 MB (unless you're using chunked upload, which it doesn't). This is T116347.
  • You get "internal_api_error_MWException" when uploading some PDF or DJVU files with text layer. This is T94562.

I'll close this one, since it's a duplicate. (And please keep filing bugs if you encounter them! :) ) Please subscribe to the linked tasks to get updates about them. At least the second one should be easy to fix; the other two not so much, though. :(
