Nginx client_max_body_size not working

This should be a quick fix. So for some reason I still can't get a request that is greater than 1MB to succeed without returning 413 Request Entity Too Large.

For example with the following configuration file and a request of size ~2MB, I get the following error message in my nginx error.log:

*1 client intended to send too large body: 2666685 bytes, 

I have tried setting the configuration that is set below and then restarting my nginx server but I still get the 413 error. Is there anything I am doing wrong?

server { listen 8080; server_name *****/api; (*omitted*) client_body_in_file_only clean; client_body_buffer_size 32K; charset utf-8; client_max_body_size 500M; sendfile on; send_timeout 300s; listen 443 ssl; location / { try_files $uri @(*omitted*); } location @parachute_server { include uwsgi_params; uwsgi_pass unix:/var/www/(*omitted*)/(*omitted*).sock; } } 

Thank you in advance for the help!

I'm surprised you haven't received a response but my hunch is you already have it set somewhere else in another config file.

Take a look at nginx - client_max_body_size has no effect

Weirdly it works after adding the same thing "client_max_body_size 100M"in http,location,server all the blocks.
