[SOLVED] Apache: Request Entity Too Large

Issue

I'm working on a laravel project and file uploading is working correctly on smaller files but when I tried to upload a 400+ Meg file of sample data which is a text file I get

Request Entity Too Large

The requested resource
/table/create/import
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data
provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.

I have checked my php.ini file and tried setting the following per instructions I have found

upload_max_filesize = 5000M
post_max_size = 10000M
max_input_time = 300
max_execution_time = 500

I also have tried to set LimitRequestBody in the httpd.conf file on the folder where the files get uploaded to.

<Directory "/var/www/html/project-css/storage/app/flatfiles">
    LimitRequestBody 0 
</Directory>

I'm running this in a vagrant setup with centos. I have been looking into this for a few days now and I haven't found a answer. Anybody have any ideas?


Solution

Discovered the problem was with mod_security in the mod_security.conf I was able to increase the size SecRequestBodyLimit to be able to upload the file.
