Heroku Nginx HTTP 413 entity too large

Question

I'm getting error 413 when uploading a 4MB file. I have already created a .user.ini file on the public/ folder. to allow up to 10 MB files

So I used client_max_body_size like this on my nginx.conf, but I still get 413.

location / {
    index index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    client_max_body_size 10M;
}

That configuration is because I'm using Laravel 5.

This is my Procfile

web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-nginx -C nginx.conf public/

Did I do something wrong?

Answer 1

Perhaps a bit late, but in order to fix this, move your client_max_body_size 10M; outside of the location section. Like this:

client_max_body_size 10M;

location / {
    index index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

See https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-php/blob/beta/conf/nginx/heroku.conf.php#L35 for reference on how heroku includes this file.
