Troubleshooting Command Line Interface

Hi,

I am in the middle of a mattermost cloud to self host migration process.

When I run the import upload command, I get an error indicating the file is too large.

./mmctl import upload cifqc.._export.zip 
Error: failed to create upload session: : Unable to upload file. File is too large.

How can I get around this problem ?

Any help will be appreciated

Hello
Check your config file and ensure that file uploadmaxsize is above the size of your file

How to create a new upload session ?

Hi Ragvendra,

do the questions relate to the problems you posted above ?

Unfortunately I don’t have answers to those questions. You might want to post those issues in a separate thread/new topic
