This can be done in the apache configuration file or from within the .htaccess file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we can assume the file is the default document root folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo vim \/var\/www\/html\/.htaccess<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the following in the .htaccess file. The example below limits the size to 64 MB (in bytes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-apacheconf\">&lt;Directory &quot;\/var\/www\/html\/assets&quot;&gt;\n    LimitRequestBody 67108864\n&lt;\/Directory&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The above can also be added to the Apache server configuration file <code>httpd.conf\/apache.conf<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you opt to add the directive in the Apache server configuration then you will need to restart the server for the settings to take effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo service apache2 restart<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it!
