Problem: FAIL – Deploy Upload Failed, Exception: org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException: the request was rejected because its size (xxxxxxx) exceeds the configured maximum (52428800)

Edit  web.xml file (/usr/share/tomcat7-admin/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml), and increase the max-file-size and max-request-size

<multipart-config>
<!– 50MB max –>
<max-file-size>52428800</max-file-size>
<max-request-size>52428800</max-request-size>
<file-size-threshold>0</file-size-threshold>
</multipart-config>

Then restart tomcat:

# /etc/init.d/tomcat7 restart
