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
