nginx - client_max_body_size has no effect

Question

nginx keeps saying client intended to send too large body. Googling and RTM pointed me to client_max_body_size. I set it to 200m in the nginx.conf as well as in the vhost conf, restarted Nginx a couple of times but I'm still getting the error message.

Did I overlook something? The backend is php-fpm (max_post_size and max_upload_file_size are set accordingly).

Following nginx documentation, you can set client_max_body_size 20m ( or any value you need ) in the following context:

context: http, server, location
