Description Felix Buenemann 2003-11-27 06:47:13 UTC 
It would be nice if you could add the parameter LimitRequestBody in either apache2.conf or commonapache2.conf. The parameter limits the size of the request body and defaults to 524288 (512KB), which is not enough for eg. WebMail or phpMyAdmin database import.

Something like:
##
## Limit the size of the request body (in byte).
## Default: 524288
#LimitRequestBody 524288

Best Regards,

Added thanks for the bug report.
Comment 2 Timo A. Hummel 2004-06-19 05:06:16 UTC 
Well, currently it seems that LimitRequestBody was added to 70_mod_php.conf, but with the defaults to the mentioned 512KB. 

I'd recommend a limit of at least 2MB (to match the upload_max_filesize parameter), but a default limit of 8MB would be even better.

It is 8MB in 70_mod_php.conf already, I changed it to that a few days ago from a bug #49020 that is very similar to this.
