File uploads and client_max_body_size in nginx + gunicorn + django
- by carlosescri
I need to configure nginx + gunicorn to be able to upload files greater than the default max size in both servers.
My nginx .conf file looks like this:
server {
# ...
location / {
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_connect_timeout 60;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000/;
}
}
The idea is to allow requests of 20M for two locations:
/admin/path/to/upload?param=value
/installer/other/path/to/upload?param=value
I've tried to add location directives at the same level than the one I've pasted here (getting 404 errors) and also tried to add them inside the location / directive (getting 413 Entity Too Large errors).
My location directives look like these in their simplest form:
location /admin/path/to/upload/ {
client_max_body_size 20M;
}
location /installer/other/path/to/upload/ {
client_max_body_size 20M;
}
But they don't work (actually I tested lots of combinations and I'm desperate thinking about this.
Please, help If you can: What settings do I need to set to make this work?
Thank you so much!
