I get 413 nginx error when uploading a file

Question

I am getting 413 error when trying to upload file, below is the code of my nginx.conf and docker-compose

nginx.conf:

http {
    client_max_body_size 500M;

    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name 194.58.119.116;

        root /var/www/public;

        location / {
            try_files $uri /index.php;

            if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
                add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
                add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS';
                add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Origin, Content-Type, Accept, Authorization';
                return 200;
            }
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri =404;
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            fastcgi_pass app:9000;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        }
    }
}

docker-compose:

`version: '3.8'

services: nginx: image: nginx:latest volumes: - ./:/var/www - ./.docker/nginx/conf.d/:/etc/nginx/conf.d ports: - "80:80" depends_on: - app container_name: ${CONTAINER_PREFIX}_nginx environment: PHP_MEMORY_LIMIT: 512M PHP_POST_MAX_SIZE: 500M PHP_UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE: 500M

`

I added the directive client_max_body_size 500M; But now instead of my site I get Unable to connect

Answer 1

client_max_body_size 500M;

must be inside the server tag

server {
...

client_max_body_size 500M;

...
}
