cPanel Nginx with Xenforo

Well they also released the nginx proxy feature with a totally useless client_max_body_size default value set:

Unable to upload files on the website after enabling Nginx

Symptoms Attempting file uploads on the websites don't complete, or they fail. The Nginx log will show the below similar errors: Note: The Nginx error log can be located at path: "/var/log/nginx/er...

support.cpanel.net

That completely broke uploads larger than 2MB until you manually fixed the config, and then their automatic fix was pushed out and broke things further because they added the default value to the nginx config, rather than an included config file, causing duplicate settings and crashing nginx.

Thanks for confirming what I wrote.

They should have paid attention to how Plesk implemented an nginx proxy. When I had a Plesk server with that feature enabled, I rarely ran into problems.
