I have a particularly large form that will not save in Chronoforms v5. Even if I make no changes, and simply click "Save", the page loads for a few seconds, and then I get a 404 error at https://mywebsite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_chronoforms5&act=save&save_act=apply
Smaller forms save just fine. New forms also save fine.
I didn't notice this issue till after we migrated this particular site to a different hosting provider. I have a feeling there's a PHP setting at play, but I haven't found any errors in the log to help me catch what's happening.
Any ideas where I should look?
Hi numinous,
The max_post_vars setting, and also check if you have suhosin or any other security module installed on the server which may block requests with large number of variables.
Do you have the latest v5 update installed ?

Following up on this, I'm getting some errors back. Here's what I'm seeing in the error_log:

Hi numinous,
Repeating Max's question : Do you have the latest v5 update installed ?
These are all PHP Warnings which happen when a string is treated as an array - PHP used to allow this but later releases do not. As far as I can see the current CFv5 code should be checking for this.

I have the same issue, I'm running the latest version 5, have checked my php and I have tried increasing these values:
memory_limit: 256M
max_execution_time: 30
max_input_time: 60
max_input_nesting_level: 64
max_input_vars: 4500
But to no avail. Any ideas I can check on the server? It is hosted with Siteground.
Thanks
Lee
Following this I've turned on error reporting and getting:
[h1]Request Entity Too LargeThe requested resource/administrator/index.phpdoes not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.[/h1]
Additionally, a 413 Request Entity Too Large error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
