    Introduction

Some php based websites require more than the default of 2 MB of upload filesize.
To increase this value you have to update the php5-fpm and Nginx configuration.
Requirements


Ubuntu server
Nginx
php5-fpm
Nginx minimal website
Nginx php5-fpm website

Instruction

First update the php5-fpm config.
sudo vi /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini
Set upload_max_filesize = 10M
Set post_max_size = 10M

Restart the php5-fpm service.
sudo service php5-fpm restart

Add this Nginx configuration to your website config.
server{

  ...

  # change upload max size
  client_max_body_size 10M;

  ... 
}

Test config and reload Nginx service.
sudo nginx -t && sudo service nginx reload
