laravel the "" file does not exist or is not readable for files bigger than 2mb

Local machine is working 100% with every file size and my problem is on production server.

I still have no problem uploading files less than 2mb,
this error is only happening when i upload file more than 2mb.
i tried updating max file size in php.ini to 20M and restart nginx and php-fpm.

I've tried sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and added these:

http{
        client_max_body_size 20M;
        client_body_timeout 300s;

        ...
}

I've tried sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini and changed these:

post_max_size = 20M
upload_max_filesize = 20M

I did restart my nginx and php like this:

sudo service nginx restart
sudo systemctl restart nginx
sudo service php7.2-fpm restart

But still less than 2mb file upload works and more than 2mb gives me error: 

message: "The "" file does not exist or is not readable."

PS: i also used sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mysite.com and added client_max_body_size 20M; before listen 80; but still getting same error after restarting nginx and php7.2-fpm.

I printed phpInfo() and my post_max_size and upload_max_filesize are still 2 mb! I dont know why my phpInfo is not getting updated as well.

I was struggling whit this and here is how I fixed it:

find which is my php.ini file

  1. sudo find / -name php.ini

edit the file 2) sudo vim /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini

edit filesizes 3) increase upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to whatever you need and save it

  1. find your services and restart them

if you are using fpm

sudo service --status-all | grep -i fpm This will give you the right service you are using

then

sudo service php7.4-fpm restart

then

sudo service nginx reload

Try to set 

client_max_body_size 20M;

inside the server block in Nginx as well.
