TL;DR

CAUSE: Your photoprism instance is probably behind a reverse proxy that has a limit on request body size.

FIX: Increase request body size limit. If you use NGINX for instance, add client_max_body_size 500M; which is clearly listed at https://docs.photoprism.org/getting-started/proxies/nginx/.

What does not work as expected?

Upload ends with error. Files do not seem to be created in /photoprism/import and cannot be found in /photoprism/originals.

How can we reproduce it?

Upload a high quality file.

What behavior do you expect?

Should work.

Can you provide us with example files for testing or screenshots?

No.

What version you are using?

211018-e200f322-Linux-x86_64

Any other helpful information?

Example server log (newest first):

2021-10-24 11:39:22 ERRO import: /photoprism/import/upload/123456789... does not exist
2021-10-24 11:39:22 INFO moving files from 123456789...

NGINX configuration:

server {
    server_name  photoprism.local;
    listen       80;
    listen       [::]:80;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2342;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; # allow websockets
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
    }

}

Haha! Maybe NGINX is the culprit due to upload size constraint. I'll check if I can fix this.
