Profile Update Not Working

[lappemic]

When attempting to update the profile on https://answer.opensource.construction/users/#username, neither the profile picture upload nor the basic information update function as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the profile update section.
2. Attempt to upload a profile picture:
   • The picture does not save or display after the upload attempt.
3. Try to update basic information without changing the picture:
   • The following error is encountered:

The connection has timed out

An error occurred during a connection to answer.opensource.construction.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Environment

• Browser: Firefox
• Network conditions: Normal, no apparent issues with other websites.

Please let me know if you need any more information or if there is anything else I can do to help resolve this issue.

@lappemic thanks for the report. We will have a look if it's related to our infrastructure or if we should forward the problem to the upstream apache project. cc @ocni-dtu

@lappemic I can update basic user information, without any problems.

However, the issue is that the server runs out of memory when you try to upload pictures.
For now I would recommend to use Gravitar for profile images.

@n0rdlicht, we should discuss what to do about that.

@ocni-dtu thanks for checking. Let's find a time to do a quick sync.

Can confirm that info update works.
