I have a node.js server combined with a react.js frontend. I've a form that requires users to upload files to a AWS S3 bucket. I'm using Multer.js to handle the file upload. I've set the default upload size to a max of 10mb. While there is absolutely no problem in uploading files as long as the file size below 10mb when testing using localhost. However, when I try to do the same from my Nginx Web Server, I get a '413 Error : Request entity too large' while trying to upload anything that is above 1mb. I've tried to follow the solutions here and here but to no luck.
I don't any error output except the 413 Error that my frontend app catches.
Here's the code to my express loader ( referencing this because I've tried the solutions mentioned above on these lines of code. )
const express = require("express");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const cookieParser = require("cookie-parser");
const helmet = require("helmet");
const cors = require("cors");
const morgan = require("morgan");
const path = require("path");
const appRoot = require("app-root-path");
const loadRoutes = require("../api");
const logger = require("./logger");
const { userRoles } = require("../utils/consts");
const authService = require("../services/AuthService");
const expressLoader = (app) => {
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.static(path.join(appRoot.path, "public", "users")));
//app.use(express.static(path.join(appRoot.path, "public", "admin")));
// ATTACH IP ADDRESS TO EACH REQUEST
app.use((req, res, next) => {
req.ipAddress = req.headers["x-forwarded-for"] || req.connection.remoteAddress;
return next();
});
// Extract token from header
app.use((req, res, next) => {
const token = req.headers["authorization"] ? req.header("authorization").split(" ")[1] : null;
if (token) {
req.token = token;
}
return next();
});
// Verify token
app.use(async (req, res, next) => {
if (req.token) {
const decode = await authService.verifyAuthToken(req.token);
console.log(decode);
if (!decode.tokenValid) {
logger.error(`[INVALID JWT ${req.path}] ip: ${req.ipAddress}`);
logger.error(decode.err);
req.isAuth = false;
return next();
} else {
req.isAuth = true;
req.decode = decode.data;
return next();
}
}
return next();
});
// Check if is admin
app.use((req, res, next) => {
const roleId = req.decode ? req.decode.role_id : null;
if (req.isAuth && (roleId === userRoles.SYSOP || roleId === userRoles.ADMIN)) {
req.isAdmin = true;
return next();
}
return next();
});
app.use(morgan("combined", { stream: logger.stream }));
app.use(helmet());
app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '50mb' }));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: '50mb', extended: true }));
//app.use(cookieParser(process.env.SCOOK_SECRET));
// app.enable("trust proxy"); TO BE ENABLED FOR NGINX
// LOAD API
app.use(process.env.API_PREFIX, loadRoutes());
// app.use("/admin", (req, res, next) => {
// logger.info(`[ADMIN ROUTE ACCESSED FROM ${ req.ip }]`);
// return res.sendFile(path.join(appRoot.path + "/public/admin/index.html"));
// });
app.get("*", (req, res, next) => {
return res.sendFile(path.join(appRoot.path + "/public/users/index.html"));
});
}
module.exports = expressLoader;
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
