Remove the second copy of the directive from file /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy-settings.conf – at line 7.

  • Is there another solution? I have set client_max_body_size in a global scope to a high value and want to set it to a lower value in just one server location. Maybe you can solve this by defining an upstreamand use proxy_pass to redirect at the right condition? – rubo77 Jun 3 ’20 at 9:39
  • I am not sure about upstream/proxy_pass- but if you remove the global setting and put it inside each server block I am sure 100% that it will work. It feels inconvenient – but only if you are changing your config too often (and in this case you should be generating the config automatically using some scripting – not manually) – otherwise the solution is perfectly fine. – IVO GELOV Jun 3 ’20 at 9:48

actually i also defined “client_max_body_size” in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/XXX.config, so the same variable “client_max_body_size” is duplicated in /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy-settings.conf – that is the reason it is giving that error.

I resolved by removing the duplicate variable in /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy-settings.conf :
