How to fix a "413 request entity too large" error on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

413_request_entity_too_large.md

The .conf files directory have to be .platform/nginx/conf.d/elasticbeanstalk

Create a new file called .platform/nginx/conf.d/01_client_size.conf and paste in the following:

client_max_body_size 20M;

You don't need to restart the nginx manually, when you deploy it restart the services.

Thanks

If you are using Docker inside Elastic Beanstalk and using a reverse proxy like Nginx, you will also need to configure Docker accordingly. I had to configure a container with Nginx on AWS Fargate due to a similar issue.

Working for a nest js project! Thank you!

@pdrok can you please share what should be configured in the Docker, thanks

I didn't use docker for that configuration, It was a nodejs aplication that I deployed directly on the AWS Elastic Beanstalk
