You get this error when the requested URL is too long, much longer than the max URL length supported by Apache server. Such error is generally encountered in GET requests, where the entire request query data is included in request URL. To fix this problem, you should either shorten requested URL or increase max URL length. Alternatively, you may also change the request type to POST so that all query data is sent as POST data, and not appended to request path as query string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Default_Max_URL_Length_in_Apache\"><\/span>What is Default Max URL Length in Apache<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, Apache supports a URL of max 8190 bytes. From this, you can subtract 3 bytes for request type (e.g. GET), and another 8 bytes for version information (e.g. HTTP\/1.0 or HTTP\/1.1) and 2 bytes for separating space, then you are left with 8177 bytes for URI path and query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Increase_URL_Length\"><\/span>Why Increase URL Length<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the default max URL length in Apache works for most websites, here are some legitimate use cases, where you may need to actually increase its limit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Complex applications<\/strong> &#8211; There may be certain applications that commonly depend on GET requests for filtering and reporting data.

If your website users are frequently getting &#8216;414 Request Too Long&#8217; error message then you may want to increase the max URL supported by your web server. On the other hand, you should also investigate your site&#8217;s URL format and see if it can be shortened. You may need to re-design your URL format in some cases. Alternatively, you may also check if you can send request query data as POST instead of GET request type. The default max url size is sufficient for most websites and blogs. It is only in extraordinary cases that you generally need to increase it. If you need to change it, then you can follow the steps mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also read:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/enable-mod_ssl-apache\/\">How to Enable mod_ssl in Apache Server<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/enable-cors-apache-web-server\/\">How to Enable CORS in Apache Server<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ubiq.co\/tech-blog\/increase-max-connections-apache\/\">How to Increase Max Connections in Apache<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you may need to increase max URL length in Apache server.
