IOError: request data read error

I'm getting an IO request data read error when trying to loading data as Excel in response.

def convert_to_excel(request):
    field = forms.CharField()
    try: data = field.clean(request.POST.get('exceldata', ''))
    except: data = u''
    response = render_to_response("spreadsheet.html", request= request, dictionary = locals())
    filename = "%s%s.xls" % ("report_excel", datetime.datetime.today().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S'))
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename='+filename
    response['Content-Type'] = 'application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8'
    return response

It works fine when the data is under 150k, but the bigger file fails at around 200k. I'm running django 1.4 Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) mod_wsgi/3.3 with daemon mode and Python/2.7.3.

This works fine in localhost. I guess this might be an issue or bad configuration of wsgi with daemon mode. Does anyone know about this?

The exception I am getting is below.

check your apache config, and see whether you could find LimitRequestBody

if so, change it to a bigger number, if not find, under your site config, add following piece

LimitRequestBody 1024000000

also, check your uwsgi's file limit option, start your uwsgi with following option:

uwsgi --limit-post 1024000000

this kind of error is your upload exceeds your apache/nginx/uwsgi max upload setting. also I notice you may not using uwsgi, limit request body and set LimitRequestBody to be a low value by default might help.
