Question

I am using rocket chat rest API, every thing works good, but when i upload file to rocket chat rest api, it shows error 413 Request Entity Too Large, but when i upload file from website it uploaded any size of fie.

After checking all scenario, I concluded that file size less than and equal to 1 mb is uploaded successfully, and greater than 1 MB shows this error 413 Request Entity Too Large.

I upload file from post man using this url https://rocket.chat.url/api/v1/rooms.upload/RoomId

X-User-Id:User-Id

<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>413 Request Entity Too Large</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)</center>

After checking many scenarios and search many urls i get solution from this.

I have used rocket chat docker and I append one line to nginx config file.

Solution:

login to ubuntu server
write sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and hit enter
Add or update client_max_body_size in

http {

    client_max_body_size 8M; #used your exceeded limit instead of 8M

    #other lines...

}

Restart nginx by command service nginx restart or systemctl restart nginx
Uploading larger file again, and it is successful.

Thanks! This works smooth. Please note though that // are not recognized as comments, use # instead, otherwise restarting nginx failes. – Ivica Pesovski Dec 23 '20 at 10:05
