nextcloud on Apache2: Request Entity Too Large

I am struggling to get Nextcloud to accept larger files (up to 512MB) via SSL.

What I have this far is:

In /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/owncloud.conf:

Alias /nextcloud "/var/www/nextcloud/"
<Directory "/var/www/nextcloud">
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All

  <IfModule mod_dav.c>
        Dav off
  </IfModule>
  LimitRequestBody 201048600
  SSLRenegBufferSize 201048600
  SetEnv HOME /var/www/nextcloud
  SetEnv HTTP_HOME /var/www/nextcloud
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/nextcloud/data/">
  # just in case if .htaccess gets disabled
    Require all denied
</Directory>

In /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (confirmed by phpinfo() and set in nextcloud admin settings, too)

post_max_size = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 512M

However, larger files can still not be uploaded (413 Request Entity Too Large). It doesn't even work with 6 MB files...

Am I missing some kind of special setting?

Solution

  • I forgot that the test-server running nextcloud was only accessible via an nginx proxy server. I had to add client_max_body_size 512M in the nginx config as well.
