Modify nginx config file in Elasticbeanstalk to increase body size .platform / .ebextension folders not taking effect – Amazon web services

I need to upload large files to the server (some of them reach 1GB) and I get this error:

<html>

<head>
    <title>413 Request Entity Too Large</title>
</head>

<body>
    <center>
        <h1>413 Request Entity Too Large</h1>
    </center>
    <hr>
    <center>nginx/1.20.0</center>
</body>

</html>

I know this error comes from ningx, and I need to increaste

client_max_body_size

I created a .ebextensions folder with this structure:

.ebextensions/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf

Also I created a .platform folder with the same structure

.platform/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf

proxy.conf contains:

client_max_body_size 999M;

After doing that and deploying it keeps throwing the same error.

The platform (created by elastic beanstalk) is

Linux/UNIX

I can see in the logs (eb-engine.log) this, but Im not sure if it is because of what I did:

2022/09/22 11:00:35.780593 [INFO] Executing instruction: start proxy
with new configuration 2022/09/22 11:00:35.780613 [INFO] Running

/var/proxy/staging/nginx/nginx.conf 2022/09/22 11:00:35.803451 [INFO] nginx: the configuration file /var/proxy/staging/nginx/nginx.conf
syntax is ok nginx: configuration file
/var/proxy/staging/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

Thanks!

    For anyone facing the same issue. I was actually doing it okey, but I missed moving the .platform folder to the dist/ folder in the build step. So I just did:

    - cp -R .platform/ dist/.platform

    in the postbuild step.

    You should be using .platform, not .ebextensions. For example:

    .platform/nginx/conf.d/myconfig.conf

    client_max_body_size 999M;
