FAQ

What if the uploaded files exceed the size limit?

If your static files exceed the upload limit, you can manually upload them to the appropriate directory on the WAF server.

• Directory path: installation_directory/resources/nginx/static/static_${SITE_ID}

You can find the SITE_ID by looking at the site details URL. For example, if the URL is https://xxxx:9443/sites/detail?id=12, the site ID is 12.
