Post-processing of the image failed likely because the server is busy or does not have enough resources.

Encountered this issue, when uploading media files to my 4nutz.tk website!

To solve this issue it might comes from PHP setting and Nginx settings. Thus i took the chance to fix both!

 

Fix PHP settings

First i increased the minimum size file upload in PHP settings by introducing new php.ini / uploads.ini file link to local file to the wordpress container 

example in docker.yaml file setting.

  wordpress:
    depends_on:
      - db
    image: wordpress:5.1.1-fpm-alpine
    container_name: anutz_wordpress
    restart: unless-stopped
    env_file: .env
    environment:
      - WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=db:3306
      - WORDPRESS_DB_USER=$MYSQL_USER
      - WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=$MYSQL_PASSWORD
      - WORDPRESS_DB_NAME=xxx
      - WORDPRESS_DB_PORT=3306

    volumes:
      - ./data/html:/var/www/html
      - ./php/uploads.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/uploads.ini

the local file in php/uploads.ini has the following directives.

php/uploads.ini

file_uploads = On
memory_limit = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 600

 

which means i increased the memory usage limit to 64 mb and file size also to 64mb, and the max execution time is 600seconds/10minutes by default its only 30seconds.

surprisingly the error still persist then we know that the issue is actually coming from Nginx!

Fix Nginx settings 

In nginx config file I increased the file upload size by default its limited to 1mb only! While media files can obviously be bigger than that!

 

 

client_max_body_size 100M;

 

was added to nginx.conf in server block. 

as usual don't forget to reload and restart all the services!

Reload and Restart Containers

docker-compose up -d --force-recreate --no-deps wordpress

docker-compose up -d --force-recreate --no-deps webserver

 

 

fixes are done!
