In this article, we will look at how to fix 414 request URI too large error in Apache server. Similar methods can be used for other servers also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-fix-414-request-uri-too-large-in-apache\/#What_is_414_Request_URI_Too_Long_Error\" >What is 414 Request URI Too Long Error<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-fix-414-request-uri-too-large-in-apache\/#Why_You_Get_414_Request_URI_Too_Long_Error\" >Why You Get 414 Request URI Too Long Error<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-fix-414-request-uri-too-large-in-apache\/#How_To_Fix_414_Request_URI_Too_Large_in_Apache\" >How To Fix 414 Request URI Too Large in Apache<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-fix-414-request-uri-too-large-in-apache\/#1_Open_Apache_Configuration_File\" >1.

By default, Apache supports URLs with up to 8177 characters, but sometime users even get error with ~4000 characters in URL. Please note, a URI is, as the name suggests, a universal resource identifier, used to identify every resource on your website, whether it is an address, image, video or any other file. URL is a type of URI meant for resource&#8217;s location. So even if you enter a large URL, the server will return &#8216;URI too long&#8217; instead of saying &#8216;URL too large&#8217;. Please note, you get this error mostly in GET requests because only GET request URLs are really long due to their input URL parameters. POST request URLs are short and contain most of input data as POST data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_You_Get_414_Request_URI_Too_Long_Error\"><\/span>Why You Get 414 Request URI Too Long Error<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the common reasons why people get this error message:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>URL Parameters<\/strong> &#8211; The most common reason for getting this response is buggy URL parameters, especially if they are programmatically generated. This happens a lot in Ecommerce sites which are notorious for long URLs. They can also occur if you have too many UTM parameters in tracking URLs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faulty Configuration<\/strong> &#8211; If all URLs on your website return this error, then it may be a configuration issue. Open your server&#8217;s configuration to check if there is a limit imposed on URL length. In this article, we have described how to fix this problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faulty plugins<\/strong> &#8211; A buggy plugin may also generate long URLs and result in this error. If you find that all URLs pertaining to a given plugin or its features are giving this response, then it may be faulty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>POST to GET conversion<\/strong> &#8211; To be honest, most web servers are capable of handling really long URLs. Still, if none of the above points work for you, then may be there is a software bug in your website&#8217;s code that converts POST requests to GET. So first check if you get this error for all URLs or only specific ones. If it is only specific ones, then check the request handler for those URLs to see if there is a POST to GET request somewhere on the front end before request submission or back end afterwards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Redirect Loops<\/strong> &#8211; Redirect loops are infinite loops in web browser due to faulty redirection scheme on your web browser. It results in a really long URL and returns this error.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Fix_414_Request_URI_Too_Large_in_Apache\"><\/span>How To Fix 414 Request URI Too Large in Apache<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, Apache server supports up to 8177 characters in a URL. However, if you need to request large URLs, or are getting errors with smaller URLs itself, then you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/increase-max-url-length-apache\/\">increase the request size limit<\/a> in Apache. This means changing your server&#8217;s configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do this by setting <em>LimitRequestLine<\/em> and <em>LimitRequestFieldSize<\/em> directives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Open_Apache_Configuration_File\"><\/span>1.

Increase URI limit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix 414 Request URI too large error, you need to set <em><a href=\"https:\/\/httpd.apache.org\/docs\/2.4\/mod\/core.html#limitrequestline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LimitRequestLine<\/a><\/em> directive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to increase URL limit to 10000 characters (bytes), add the following lines to your server configuration or virtual host file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">LimitRequestLine 10000<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you also want to increase maximum header length supported by Apache to 4000 characters, then add the following line to server configuration or virtual host file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">LimitRequestFieldSize 4000<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, you need to specify the required number of bytes after <em>LimitRequestLine<\/em> and <em>LineRequestFieldSize<\/em> directives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bonus Tip:<\/strong> If you are using NGINX server, look for large_client_header_buffers instead of LimitRequestLine and increase its value, just as you would with LimitRequestLine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Restart_Apache_web_server\"><\/span>3.

We have also mentioned a bonus tip to fix the same problem in NGINX server. The key is to understand why you get this error. In most cases, you do not have to change the configuration file. It is generally a result of faulty plugin or buggy redirects. It can also be due to bugs in the request handler of URL on server side or request submission at client side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ubiq.co\/\">Ubiq<\/a>&nbsp;makes it easy to visualize data in minutes, and monitor in real-time dashboards.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/ubiq.co\/accounts\/register\">Try it<\/a> today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also read<br><a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-enable-apache-server-status-dashboard-page\/\">How to Enable Apache Server Status Dashboard<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/apache-restrict-access-to-url-by-ip\/\">Apache Restrict Access to URL by IP<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/how-to-enable-http2-in-apache\/\">How to Enable HTTP2 in Apache<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you request long URLs, Apache may give 414 request URI too large error.
