I have a large URI and I am trying to configure Nginx to accept it. The URI parameters are 52000 characters in length with a size of 52kb. I have tried accessing the URI without

I have found the solution. The problem was that there were multiple instances of nginx running. This was causing a conflict and that's why the large_client_header_buffers wasnt working. After killing all nginx instances I restarted nginx with the configuration:

large_client_header_buffers 4 64k;

Everything started working after that.
