Your error message is mangled, but the relevant bit survived - error code 413.

> **[413 Content Too Large - HTTP | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/413)**
>
> The HTTP 413 Content Too Large client error response status code indicates that the request entity was larger than limits defined by server.
> The server might close the connection or return a Retry-After header field.

"Content too large" suggests either:

1. Some middleware between your Linux server and wherever you're trying to save the project is rejecting the request
2. Your project is genuinely too large for our default webserver settings, suggesting you're doing something catastrophically wrong like saving a _massive_ binary file into your project. I've literally never heard of someone getting a 413 from Ignition specific code.
