How to limit upload size in Apache Webserver

Question

Hi Guys,

I have a web application that allows users to upload files such as word documents, pdf, and so on.  How do I limit file upload by users?

Hi@akhtar,

You can make use of the LimitRequestBody directive to limit upload file size.

<Directory "usr/local/apache2/uploads">
LimitRequestBody 9000
</Directory>

The value assigned to the LimitRequestBody allows Apache to accept and store file uploads of 9000 bytes by users. You can adjust the value based on the requirement.
