These logs show pretty much the same thing, to me: nginx does the same
thing in both cases, and gets different responses from php-fpm.

You'll want to ask php-fpm, or the php code, why that is.

The client/browser makes a HTTP POST request to nginx.

Because of the nginx configuration, nginx knows to handle that request by
acting as a fastcgi client, and making a fastcgi request to the fastcgi
server that is listening on the unix-domain socket /var/run/php7-fpm.sock.

That fastcgi server does whatever it wants, and sends a response to nginx.

nginx sends a modified version of that response back to the client.

In one case, the response from the fastcgi server is some JSON that says
things worked; in the other, it is some JSON that says the input file
was too big.

Also in one case, the response headers include "X-Powered-By: PHP/7.4.26",
and in the other case, they do not. Under what circumstances will your
fastcgi server not return the X-Powered-By header? Those circumstances
happen in error_log.2 above, and not in error_log.1.


Searching the web for "File is too big" and rainloop does offer some
php.ini-config suggestions. (One of the earlier suggestions was that
the same file content, but uploaded with a shorter file name, would work.)

Is there any chance that your php-fpm service acts differently between an
"up" and a "restart"?

Good luck with it,
