Fixing 413 Upload Errors with Nginx

If you’re getting 413 Request Entity Too Large errors trying to upload WPtouch with nginx running on your server, you likely need to increase the size limit in nginx.conf. 

Add ‘client_max_body_size xxM’ inside the server section, where xx is the size (in megabytes) that you want to allow.

For example:

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    server {
        client_max_body_size 20M;
        listen       80;
        server_name  localhost;

        # Main location
        location / {
            proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
        }
    }
}
