nginx: 413 Request Entity Too Large - File Upload Issue

Original post is here: eklausmeier.goip.de

I got above error message in nginx. Stackoverflow post 413 Request Entity Too Large - File Upload Issue had all information to resolve the issue. The solution was written by User Arun.

One has to edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add in http{...}

1client_max_body_size 15900M ;

and /etc/php/php.ini

 1; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
 2; https://php.net/upload-max-filesize
 3upload_max_filesize = 15900M
 4
 5; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)
 6; https://php.net/memory-limit
 7memory_limit = 6900M
 8
 9; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
10; Its value may be 0 to disable the limit. It is ignored if POST data reading
11; is disabled through enable_post_data_reading.
12; https://php.net/post-max-size
13post_max_size = 25900M

Besides editing /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and /etc/php/php.ini I had to stop nginx and php-fpm:

1systemctl stop nginx
2systemctl stop php-fpm

so the changes take effect.

After starting the two services then check with phpinfo().
