Hello,

**Describe the problem**  
I’ve just installed our first LibreTime instance (non-docker) and everything seems to run fine.  
When I tried to upload music file over 1mb to the Library I get the below error. I am able to upload file over 1mb.

**To reproduce**  
Log in to the Management Interface  
Click “Upload or Drag" files to upload

**Expected behavior**  
An import done successfully

**Relevant log output or error messages**

 413 Request Entity Too Large

* * *
nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu) 

LibreTime version: 3.1.0

Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04.6

Method: Installer script

Thank you.

Yep. This could be caused by different limitations.

**In my case, it was nginx.conf that blocked the import. Here’s what I did:**

`sudo nano -l /etc/nginx/nginx.conf`

Paste the code below at line 64 before the closing bracket :

```auto
# set client body size to 1000M #
client_max_body_size 1000M;

```

Restart nginx

`sudo systemctl restart nginx`

**It could also come from your PHP upload\_max\_filesize :**

`sudo nano -l /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini`

Find and change for :

line 409:  
`memory_limit = 512M`

line 694:  
`post_max_size = 1000M`

line 846:  
`upload_max_filesize = 500M`

Restart Apache

`sudo systemctl restart php7.4-fpm.service`

Cheers Pal.  
It is was the **nginx.conf**

Thank you
