Default nginx client_max_body_size
The default value for client_max_body_size
directive is 1 MiB.
It can be set in http
, server
and location
context — as in the most cases,
this directive in a nested block takes precedence over the same directive in the ancestors blocks.
Excerpt from the ngx_http_core_module documentation:
Syntax: client_max_body_size size; Default: client_max_body_size 1m; Context: http, server, location
Sets the maximum allowed size of the client request body, specified in the “Content-Length” request header field. If the size in a request exceeds the configured value, the 413 (Request Entity Too Large) error is returned to the client. Please be aware that browsers cannot correctly display this error. Setting size to 0 disables checking of client request body size.
Don't forget to reload configuration
by nginx -s reload
or service nginx reload
commands prepending with sudo
(if any).
Pooja Mane's answer worked for me, but I had to put the client_max_body_size variable inside of http section.
You can increase body size in nginx configuration file as
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
client_max_body_size 100M;
Restart nginx to apply the changes.
sudo service nginx restart
Nginx default value for client_max_body_size
is 1MB
You can update this value by three different way
1. Set in http
block which affects all server blocks (virtual hosts).
http {
...
client_max_body_size 100M;
}
2. Set in server
block, which affects a particular site/app.
server {
...
client_max_body_size 100M;
}
3. Set in location
block, which affects a particular directory (uploads) under a site/app.
location /uploads {
...
client_max_body_size 100M;
}
