Zip upload of dicom instance only works locally

General

Hi,
Though i’m still new to orthanc.
I have Orthanc running remotely behind nginx and i also installed orthanc it locally on my macbook. Uploading of a .dcm file works perfectly remotely and locally. But without any special configuration, when i upload a .zip file locally, it works well. When i upload the same .zip file remotely, i get an error like this.

{
   "Details" : "Cannot parse an invalid DICOM file (size: 22246772 bytes)",
   "HttpError" : "Bad Request",
   "HttpStatus" : 400,
   "Message" : "Bad file format",
   "Method" : "POST",
   "OrthancError" : "Bad file format",
   "OrthancStatus" : 15,
   "Uri" : "/instances"
}
```.

Pls i need help with this.

Hello,

Your question is presumably related to nginx, not to Orthanc. Indeed, by default, nginx limits the POST body size to 1MB.

Check out the client_max_body_size configuration option of nginx, for instance: Default nginx client_max_body_size - Stack Overflow

Hello Sébastien,
Thanks for the response.
Though I had already increased the the post body size in the nginx.conf file by setting client_max_body_size 250M; the
This is what my nginx.conf file currently looks like

events {
        worker_connections 768;
        # multi_accept on;
}

http {
        ##
        # Basic Settings

        client_max_body_size 250M;

        # server_tokens off;

        # server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;

Hello,

Unfortunately, we cannot provide any additional information unless you provide us with a full minimal working example to reproduce your issue. You are presumably using a custom Web application between nginx and Orthanc, as your configuration file doesn’t follow our instructions for nginx (i.e. no proxy_pass is present in your nginx configuration).

Ok. Thank you.
I will look at the nginx configuration for orthanc.
