Request Entity Too Large While saving the form

Resolve a "Request Entity Too Large" error when saving a form.

Overview

The error occurs due to server-side security settings that restrict the amount of data allowed in a request.
Contact your hosting provider to adjust the server's mod_security rules or request size limits to accommodate the form data.

I got the error message below, so I asked my host and they replied saying that its because the extension will not work
unless it is validated. Is that true and how can I fix this?


Request Entity Too Large

The requested resource
/administrator/index.php
does not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hi rzrz,

It has **nothing** to do with validation. It is a problem with your server settings. "does not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit."
