It was a forward-thinking OS that nev

Error 413: Handling Content Too Large for a Website

Uploading large files to a website can fail due to server-side limitations on file size.

This guide explains how to adjust these settings and provides detailed examples for common scenarios. For Nginx Nginx limits the size of client requests using the client_max_body_size directive.

But before we begin, make sure you are running the bash version 4 or above by checking the bash ver
