How to set up nginx for file uploading

[Vlad Fulgeanu]

I managed to make some changes (I was using another config file,
although "nginx -t" was showing the correct file, witch is very
strange) and I don't get HTTP 503 back.
The config file now looks like this: http://dpaste.com/18J54VV
The problem I have now is that I get
> 500 (Internal Server Error)

as a response to the POST request.

I can see that the files are actually uploaded to
"/home/project/previews/uploaded-files", but for whatever reason they
don't get passed to the backend server, because the backend doesn't
log anything (though it says that it's an Internal Server Error).
