Solved: Cannot set up client_max_body_size for Nginx in Plesk

The Plesk bug #PPPM-1914 is responsible for preventing the successful set up of client_max_body_size for Nginx in Plesk.

Cannot set up client_max_body_size for nginx in Plesk

Plesk applies the ‘client_max_body_size 128m;’ directive by default for each domain although the server-wide value is ‘1m’. Furthermore, we can keep ‘128m’ as the default value server-wide with the following steps courtesy of our proficient Support Engineers. This will help resolve the issue on hand until a fix comes around as a part of the future product update:

  1. First, connect to the Plesk server via SSH as a root user.
  2. Next, set the global value for Nginx:
    # echo 'client_max_body_size 128m;' > /etc/nginx/conf.d/aa_client_max_body.conf
  3. Then, we will modify the /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini file with the following command:
    # echo -e "[webserver]\n nginxClientMaxBodySize =\n" >> /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini

    In case the panel.ini file does not exist, our Support Techs recommend creating it via a sample file and also setting correct permissions as seen below:

    # cp /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini.sample /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini

    # chmod 644 /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini

  4. After that, we will regenerate Apache configuration files by executing this command:
    # plesk sbin httpdmng --reconfigure-all
  5. Next, restart nginx with this command:
    # service nginx restart

After following this process, we will be able to set up client_max_body_size for Nginx without running into any further trouble.
