Nginx 413 payload too large
client intended to send too large body|413 Request Entity Too Large
Fixes
- 1.Increase client_max_body_size: client_max_body_size 100m in http/server/location block
- 2.For file uploads, also set it in the specific location block that handles uploads
- 3.Set client_max_body_size 0 to disable the check entirely (use application-level validation instead)
