In PHP the default upload_max_filesize is 2 MB but you can increase this filesize limit using your htaccess file. To increase the limit via htaccess , add the following line to your htaccess


php_value upload_max_filesize 100MB

This will increase the default limit to 100MB.

301 reditect a domain with exception

Amit Verma (amitoverflow) — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 18:03:14 +0000

Here is the simple mod_rewrite rule that will help you redirect your site URL to another domain with exception. Assuming we have a domain named "foo.example.com" and we want to redirect all our site traffic to an external domain "bar.example.com" with an exception that our /admin/ directory should not redirect, we can use the following in htaccess :

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule !admin https://bar.example.com [L,R=301]
