Thread: It's Apache, not PostgreSQL

It looks as if Apache has an HTTP input buffer limit of 8190 bytes which
can be
reduced with a "LimitRequestLine" directive, but not increased. I'm
hitting this with
both phpPgAdmin and Cold Fusion.  I'm going to have to FTP stuff after
all.
Sigh. Thanks for all the suggestions I got in the last twenty minutes.
BTW, the
reason I've run into this is that I'm building a self-publishing website
and some
cells contain long web pages.

That sounds like a limit on the "GET" http request.  Can you recode your
form to use POST?  My guess is it does not have the same limit.

That limit can also be raised by changing a constant and recompiling Apache;
8190 is just the default.  Check the online docs for LimitRequestLine at
httpd.apache.org.
