File upload size in nginx

Question

Nginx

ubuntu server. In nginx.conf, in the http section, I added the line:

client_max_body_size 1024M;

But when loading a file whose size is just over 200 megabytes, nginx gives an error:

2013/02/13 22:32:12 [error] 28766#0: *97 client intended to send too large body: 279436746 bytes, client: xx.xx.251.76, server: www.example.com, request: "POST /uploadfiles HTTP/1.1", host: "www.example.com", referrer: "http://www.example.com/addfiles/"

(I replaced the server name and IP with other values ​​​​here)

Who can tell me why? And how to deal with it?

Answer 1

Most likely client_max_body_size is overwritten further in the config
