# Glance Image Create Fails With Error "Request Entity Too Large

## Problem

The Glance image creation fails when user tries to create an image from the Management Plane. The error observed is as follows.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
# openstack image create UBUNTU1804_ISO --file /home/chinmay/ubuntu-18.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso --disk-format iso --container-format bare413 Request Entity Too Large: nginx/1.14.1 (HTTP 413)
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All Versions
* Glance

## Cause

The admin endpoint is not configured to create images. Because the creation attempt was done on the Management Plane, the admin RC file is sourced, you cannot create images.

## Resolution

1. Download the RC file from the UI for your user.
2. Source the RC file and create the image.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://platform9.com/kb/pmo/solution/glance-image-create-fails-with-error-request-entity-too-large.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
