Issue

  • When I try to select all web contents and/or folders and try to move them to another folder I receive an "HTTP ERROR 414".

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Go to Content & Data --> Web Content
  2. Create several web contents (more than 75 entries for DXP 7.2, and more than 60 entries for DXP 7.3 and 7.4).
  3. Check the entries per page and set it to the maximum number of entries.
  4. Select all contents and click on the upper right "Move" icon to move the contents to another folder.

      Result: I receive an HTTP ERROR 414

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.2
  • Liferay DXP 7.3
  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • Please increase the value of the following property in your portal-ext.properties file. The default value is 4,000 characters.
    #
# The invoker filter will reject any request to the portal where the request
# URI is longer than this value. For technical reasons, we should generally
# not allow more than 4000 characters.
#
invoker.filter.uri.max.length=4000
