hello, why when we config the file /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf in cPanel with the options LimitRequestBody 1024 # file MAX 1KB
or directlly with the string: LimitRequestBody 1024 # file MAX 1KB
users can UPLOAD files with more of 1KB ? we wait the result from OTHERS servers with Apache: we need config this directlly from Apache, not from SCRIPT. thanks

  thanks, as we say in our first message: [QUOTE] we config the file /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf in cPanel with the options LimitRequestBody 1024 # file MAX 1KB
  or directlly with the string: LimitRequestBody 1024 # file MAX 1KB
  
  we put this two options directly on the file /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf note: we put ONE or OTHER and restart Apache, however nothing change: users can UPLOAD files of 1MB, 10MB, 100MB, etc...

  of course, here is the code: you can choice, option #1: LimitRequestBody 1024 # file MAX 1KB
  or option #2: LimitRequestBody 1024 # file MAX 1KB
  paste this DIRECTLY on the file /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf that is the info FROM

  I'm sorry - I meant the code of the HTML form, not the Apache configuration option.

  logically use upload_max_filesize is 100% obtuse, (any user/form can change, remove this field)

  have you tried in WHM Home >software >Multiphpini Editor change the upload file size in php editor ? then users can't change file upload limit.. even if they change in Cpanel for 100mb will not work, because it will have default you set im whm just an idea if you have not tried it?

  How to set File Upload Size limit in Apache? Print 0 As we know Apache is an open-source and free web server. Here, we will configure apache to set limit over file upload and download from your web server. It is always necessary to configure your webserver against the incoming client request. Nowadays, webserver does affect the DDOS attack. This should also be useful to prevent your webserver from those attacks as well. We can set a total size of HTTP requests using the LimitRequestBody directive. This can be defined in your websites .htaccess or in http.conf file. We can set the required value in between the range of decided by the request body. It is from 0 (unlimited) to 2 GB. Suppose you have a Wordpress website and you want to set a limit on the wp-upload folder to only allow uploads up to 200 KB. In this case, you will need to add the below line inside your .htaccess or httpd.conf file. LimitRequestBody 200000 Once you make the above changes in your file don't forget to save it. After this, please restart and reload your HTTP service. # service httpd restart # service httpd reload

  I was going to mention that editing the Apache configuration directly is fine for brief testing, but it should be performed through includes to ensure it doesn't get overwritten in the future. I'm not sure why that value isn't working for you on that particular machine. Could you open a ticket with our support team so we can check this out?
