Increasing File Upload Size in NGINX and PHP

I needed to increase the file upload size for a project, so here’s how I did it for both PHP and NGINX.

PHP Configuration:

1. Find your php.ini file:
   “`bash

   php --ini

2. Edit it using vim:
   “`bash

   upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M
   “`

   <div class="flex items-center rounded bg-token-main-surface-secondary px-2 font-sans text-xs text-token-text-secondary"><code></code></div>
   </div>
   </div>
   </div></li>
   </ol>

   <h3>NGINX Configuration:</h3>

   <ol>
   <li>In your <code>nginx.conf</code>, add:
   <div class="dark bg-gray-950 contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative">
   <div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary bg-token-main-surface-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9">“`bash

   client_max_body_size 100m;
```

   <div class="overflow-y-auto p-4" dir="ltr"><code></code></div>
   </div></li>
   <li>Reload services:
   <div class="dark bg-gray-950 contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative">
   <div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary bg-token-main-surface-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9">“`bash

   sudo service nginx reload
sudo service php-fpm reload

   “`
