"client_max_body_size" directive invalid value

[rahim123]

I ran into this problem too. In my case it was:

params:
  db_default_text_search_config: "pg_catalog.english"

  ## Set db_shared_buffers to a max of 25% of the total memory.
  ## will be set automatically by bootstrap based on detected RAM, or you can override
  db_shared_buffers: "2048MB"

  ## can improve sorting performance, but adds memory usage per-connection
  db_work_mem: "40MB"

  ## Reduce max upload size
  upload_size: 1024kb

But for whatever reason it does work with: upload_size: 1m

@rahim123

upload_size: 1024kb

That’s invalid indeed, the correct would be 1024k as per nginx docs I only see it accept numbers and SI multipliers.

Ahh, thanks @Falco , so that was the problem.
