Use   php -i   command or add   phpinfo      to get the location of configuration file    Update these variables according to your need and server  max input time   24000 max execution time   24000 upload max filesize   12000M post max size   24000M memory limit   12000M   On Linux you will need to restart nginx   apache and phpfpm service so the new ini settings are loaded  On xampp  ammps you can restart these from control panel that comes with such applications

I got the upload working with above changes  But when I made the changes I started getting 404 response in file upload which lead me to do further debugging and figured out its a permission issue by checking nginx error log   Solution   Check the current user and group ownership on  var lib nginx     ls -ld  var lib nginx   drwx------  3 nginx nginx 17 Oct  5 19 31  var lib nginx  This tells that a possibly non-existent user and group named nginx owns this folder  This is preventing file uploading   In my case  the username mentioned in   etc nginx nginx conf   was   user vagrant     Change the folder ownership to the user defined in nginx conf in this case vagrant     sudo chown -Rf vagrant vagrant  var lib nginx   Verify that it actually changed     ls -ld  var lib nginx drwx------  3 vagrant vagrant 17 Oct  5 19 31  var lib nginx   Reload nginx and php-fpm for safer sade     sudo service nginx reload   sudo service php-fpm reload   The permission denied error should now go away  Check the error log  based on nginx conf error log location      sudo nano  path to nginx error log

Assuming that you made the necessary changes in your php ini files   You can resolve the issue by adding the following line in your nginx conf file found in the following path    etc nginx nginx conf   then edit the file using vim text editor as follows   vi  etc nginx nginx conf   and add client max body size with a large enough value  for example   client max body size 20MB    After that make sure you save using  xi or  wq  And then restart your nginx   That s it   Worked for me  hope this helps

I add the changes directly to my virtualhost instead the global config of nginx  like this      server        client max body size 100M                  And then I change the params in php ini  like the comments above      max input time   24000    max execution time   24000    upload max filesize   12000M    post max size   24000M    memory limit   12000M   and what you can not forget is to restart nginx and php-fpm  in centos 7 is like this     systemctl restart nginx   systemctl restart php-fpm
