Hello guys,
I’m experimenting the following issue:
-
when exporting a folder with a few keys to kdbx, no problem
-
when exporting a folder with many keys it fails with the following error message: “An internal error occurred. The server response could not be parsed.”
I tried to reload, to clean the db, to upgrade, but with no improvment.
Also tried to increase client_max_body_size from 5M to 10M from nginx parameters according to the following thread but with same result; https://community.passbolt.com/t/the-server-response-could-not-be-parsed/6390/4
Quite a newbee and I can’t debug deeper… Many thanks in advance if you can help me !
