"Getting http 413 errors - how do I fix 'Request Entity Too Large'?"

Hey folks,

So I keep hitting this http 413 error when trying to upload some big files to my server. Annoying af, right? Like, it just straight-up says "Request Entity Too Large" and refuses to cooperate.

I’ve tried tweaking stuff in my nginx config (`client_max_body_size`), but no luck yet. Anyone else dealt with this?

Also, is there a way to handle it gracefully? Like, maybe show a nicer error instead of just crashing? Or is there a better way to handle large uploads?

Thanks in advance!

(PS: If you’ve got tips for Apache or other servers, throw ’em in too. I’m not picky!)
