How to edit nginx conf to increase file size upload

Question

I want to increase the maximum file size that can be uploaded  After doing some research online  I found that you have to edit the file  nginx conf   The only way I can currently access this file is by going through Putty and typing in the command   vi  etc nginx nginx conf   This will open the file but I have 2 questions now    How do I edit this file  I found online that you have to add the following line of code    client max body size 8M   Where would I put this line of code in nginx conf

You can increase client max body size and upload max filesize   post max size all day long  Without adjusting HTTP timeout it will never work     You need to adjust this  and probably on PHP side also  client body timeout    2min      1GB fileupload

Add client max body size Now that you are editing the file you need to add the line into the server block  like so  server       client max body size 8M         other lines       If you are hosting multiple sites add it to the http context like so  http       client max body size 8M         other lines       And also update the upload max filesize in your php ini file so that you can upload files of the same size  Saving in Vi Once you are done you need to save  this can be done in vi with pressing esc key and typing  wq and returning  Restarting Nginx and PHP Now you need to restart nginx and php to reload the configs  This can be done using the following commands  sudo service nginx restart sudo service php5-fpm restart  Or whatever your php service is called
