“413: Request too large” error when uploading to Nextcloud via WebDAV

[Connor19]

I’ll try to include as much info as I can:

I’ve had Nextcloud running through NGINX Proxy manager for a few months now and all is fine, I have and upload limit of 50GB as an extra parameter on the Nextcloud-ffmpeg docker container, and I am able to upload large videos (5GB+) to my Nextcloud via the iOS app and via the windows app without issue. I’m trying to use the iOS app PhotoSync which uses WebDAV to connect to Nextcloud, I’m doing this so I can upload my iOS images in an organised manner and keeping the quality and also keeping the dates etc.

The issue is I seem to have a limit somewhere so I can’t upload larger video files, so videos that are around the 2GB+ mark are going to 100% and then giving me the 413 error. I’ve googled and it’s mainly saying that it’s related to NGINX. I Have edited the nginx.conf file in etc/nginx/ and have changed client_max_body_size to 0.

i have also looked for the lines such as max_upload_size in a file like php.ini. I have a php.ini file in /etc but there isn’t any references to upload sizes or anything like that and I don’t have any php folders with anything of relevance in either as I have checked all the .ini files. Does anyone have any info on this? Does WebDAV still go through nginx? I’ve been searching for a solution for a couple of days now and I’m totally lost so any help would be appreciated
