Hi @athornfam2,
2MB is the default limit in a lot of cases on Apache.
Have you tried following the guidance here to increase the limit?: https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/upload-config/#changing-upload-limits

I saw that but I thought the default was 10MB for Apache?

Update: That was the issue. upload_max_filesize was set to 2 MB. Change it to 10 MB and restarted the service. All is working. The topic can be marked as resolved.

Checking this again, Apache often doesn't have limits itself but 2MB is the limit for at least one of the PHP options; So you'll need to check/change the options for the PHP config that Apache is using.
