Django nginx 413 Request Entity Too Large


After logining the admin page it is returning 413 error (Request Entity Too Large). Than I added client_max_body_size to my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and restarted nginx, but it didnt helped :( I know that this error is a common one, but I had to ask this question because there is no more information that about client_max_body_size.

Solution

  • Add this in your settings.py file

    DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE = 5242880 # 5 MB
    

    if this doesn't work, in your nginx.config file try

    client_max_body_size 100;
    

    to this:

     client_max_body_size 200M;
