If you are trying to upload large files and are seeing this error, it means the client_max_body_size
value is too low.
Open the nginx configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
It may also be located in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
or /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
.
If you can’t find your Nginx config, see: Where is the Nginx Config File Located?
Add the following line within the http
block
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
http {
. . .
client_max_body_size 32M;
. . .
}
Save and exit (press CTRL
+ X
, press Y
and then press ENTER
)
Now, check if the Nginx config file syntax is valid.
sudo nginx -t
If valid, restart Nginx service.
service nginx restart
You may also need to edit the php.ini configuration file.
