413 Request Entity Too Large

[wootwoot1234]

I keep getting the "413 Request Entity Too Large" error when uploading files that are larger than 1M. I followed the following instructions from here but it didn't work.

mkdir /home/dokku/myapp/nginx.conf.d/
echo 'client_max_body_size 50M;' > /home/dokku/myapp/nginx.conf.d/upload.conf
chown dokku:dokku /home/dokku/myapp/nginx.conf.d/upload.conf
service nginx reload

I tried updating my Procfile adding a php.ini file to my root directory with the following entry but it also didn't help:

Procfile:

web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-nginx -C nginx.conf -i php.ini php/

php.ini:

upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M

What am I doing wrong? Is there anyway to test if my configurations are being used or if they are being overwritten by something else? I checked phpinfo(); and those setting are being used, is there an equivalent to that for nginx?

Is there a way to change the nginx settings globally for all images?

You need to replace myapp with your application's name in the instructions.

@josegonzalez I should have said that, sorry. Yes, I used my app name not myapp and it's not working.

Can you hop onto our slack chat room to get support? That will make debugging this issue for you much easier.

@josegonzalez Sure, thanks. Do you have a link? I've never use slack but can sign up.

Problem was that the user customized their heroku app's nginx config but neglected to add the client_max_body_size 50M; to the config.

[wootwoot1234]

@josegonzalez figured it out:

In my Procfile I have:

web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-nginx -C nginx.conf -i php.ini php/

so in addition to my other configurations (see my first post) I had to add client_max_body_size 100m; to the top of nginx.conf, mine looks like this:

client_max_body_size 100m;
location / {
    index index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
