nginx version: nginx/1.1.19, OS: Ubuntu12.04
Default nginx accepted body size limitation is 1MB.
You can add client_max_body_size in nginx.conf
.
This parameter can put in http
, server
and location
sections of configutation file.
Enlarge body size to 10MB
client_max_body_size 10M
Or just disable it
client_max_body_size 0
For example enlarge body size to 10MB
Add to http
section:
$ sudo vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
http {
##
# Basic Settings
##
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
types_hash_max_size 2048;
client_max_body_size 10M;
# server_tokens off;
# server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
# server_name_in_redirect off;
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
...
}
Or modify server
and location
section
$ sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
server {
#listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
#listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6
client_max_body_size 10M;
root /usr/share/nginx/www;
index index.html index.htm;
# Make site accessible from http://localhost/
server_name localhost;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to index.html
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
client_max_body_size 0;
}
location /doc/ {
alias /usr/share/doc/;
autoindex on;
allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;
}
....
}
Reload configuration:
$ sudo service nginx reload
Done!
Thank you for your post. I'm using nginx 1.1.19 and editing nginx.conf didnt work for me because in this version of nginx, using client_max_body_size in the HTTP context is ignored. I tried searching until I found this that I had to change it from /sites-available/default file though `default` file is not a .conf type file, thats why I didn't look for it first.
