nginx - client_max_body_size has no effect

Question

Hi,

nginx keeps saying "client intended to send too large body". Googling and RTFM pointed me to "client_max_body_size". I set it to 200m in the nginx.conf as well as in the vhost conf, restarted Nginx a couple of times but I'm still getting the error message.

Did I overlook something? The backend is php-fpm (max_post_size and max_upload_file_size are set accordingly).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Had the same problem until i realized that i also had a client_max_body_size directive in my proxy.conf file.
