Your error message tells it comes from nginx configuration.

You need to increase client_max_body_size on your nginx.conf server config. eg :

http {
    server {
        client_max_body_size 20M;
        listen       80;
        server_name  test.com;
    }
}

I didn't add it to the nginx.conf. I added it to the proxy.conf as we're running a reverse proxy server. Worked great. – darren Feb 15 '11 at 18:35
