413 Request Entity Too Large

Hi all,

I have something I can't get my head around. I'm running the perfect Centos server setup (only 6.6 centos) with nGinx.
I needed to upload a file from about 6 MB in my Joomla system and got the message;

Code:

413 Request Entity Too Large

Fair warning so I added the following to the nginx directives for this site.

Code:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        client_max_body_size 100M;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
        fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
        fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
        fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 240;
}

The following to the PHP directives.

Code:

upload_max_filesize = 100M;
post_max_size = 125M;

Please note the actual Joomla is running in a subfolder called joomla so location set as / and /joomla/ are both tested.
This above directive does not solve the issue.
I checked the php.ini and that was set to;

Code:

upload_max_filesize = 100M;
post_max_size = 125M;

The mail nginx.conf was also checked where I found

Code:

http {
    ## Detect when HTTPS is used
    #map $scheme $https {
    #  default off;
    #  https on;
    #}
    map $http_x_forwarded_proto $fastcgi_https {
  default '';
  https on;
  client_max_body_size 100M;
}

All seems to be set OK but still not able to upload a big file
Once I added (manually)

Code:

client_max_body_size 100M;

in the server part of the vhost file of this website, I could upload a bigger file.
As soon a I change anything in the website setting and save it via ispconfig, this line is removed again and it will stop working.
I have version 1.62 of nginx running on the server. Could that be the problem?

Please help me out. I have a workaround as mentioned above but this is not the way to do this.

Regards,

Ralph

 

Thanks for the reply. I guess you mean the nginx directives, right?
Apache is not used here

 

I added this a will try. If this is not added at all and only set in php.ini and nginx.conf, it should use that as the default?
Because now I have to add it for every website running here. OR can I add this to the default vhost template?

Edit:
Works like a charm. Thanks for the lightning fast reply again Till!
Was not aware I could add anything outside a location
