PHP - 413 Request Entity Too Large

Question

I've been trying to make an Android app which will have the function to create new user profiles and store the various details(email, password, etc.) to a remote server. Now, I'm using JSON to upload the user data to my remote server. But, the problem is, when I'm trying upload a high resolution image to my server for the user's profile picture, it is giving me a "413 Request Enitity Too Large" error. Now, I read online that these kind of errors can be fixed by editing the php.ini and nginx.conf , but the problem is, though I managed to change the values in the php.ini , I can't even find the nginx.conf file on my server! Even though my server host claims that nginx is installed on all their servers. What should I do in such a situation? Is there any way to edit the nginx.conf programmatically using php?

Here's the output I'm getting:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>413 Request Entity Too Large</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Request Entity Too Large</h1>
The requested resource<br />/enter_name.php<br />
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided inthe request exceeds the capacity limit.
</body></html>

Any help on this issue shall be highly appreciated

You can check nginx config with this command:

nginx -t

Config file location will be in result, for example:

nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

Then set client_max_body_size directive in this config:

client_max_body_size 20m;

See nginx docs for details.
