File uploads

Hi,

I run a vBulletin site on a small VPS that I recently switched to Nginx
from
Apache. I recompiled php with fpm and have everything working fairly
well
but we’re experiencing one fairly major problem. It’s a World War II
site
and we have lots of file uploads, both as file attachments to posts and
in
an integrated gallery app (PhotoPost). Some are fairly large so I have
uploads enabled in php.ini with a upload_max_filesize = 12M but Nginx
rejects file uploads that are over about 1000K. I get a “413 Request
Entity
Too Large” error.

The server log reads :

2008/09/29 17:32:48 [error] 1955#0: *442737 client intended to send too
large body: 1074692 bytes, client: my.ip.add.ress, server: mydomain.com,
request: “POST /forums/newattachment.php?do=manageattach&p= HTTP/1.1”,
host:
“mydomain.com”, referrer:
http://mydomain.com/forums/newattachment.php?do=manageattach
http://mydomain.com/forums/newattachment.php?do=manageattach&p= &p=

In this case it was four files that I was attempting to upload, all
png’s
between 200-300K, total about 1044K.

Any insight would be appreciated.

default: client_max_body_size 1m

Solved that issue.

Many thanks for the quick response to my newbie question.
