Import a large git repository into stash

Question

Hi, All:

I have just setup a stash server and would like to import a large git repository (~700MB) into stash. I'm getting 'error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 413'. What server configurations should I change in order to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Xun.

I have lighttpd as my front end. I've tried to set server.max-request-size (default is 2GB and I've tried 20GB) and set maxPostSize="0" in server.xml for tomcat. It seems to have no effect. Perhaps, I've tried too quickly late at night and might made a mistake. I should give it another go tonight.

You'll need to take a look at the server logs. Do you have apache or nginx in front of the server and are you doing the git push over the http protocol? If so the proxying web server might have the error
