How to change limitrequestfieldsize in Apache 2.4.2

Question

I am working with Apache 2.4.2 and I need to change the LimitRequestFieldSize. presumably (according to some Google research) that can be done in the httpd.conf file, but I cannot find that LimitRequestFieldSize is not httpd.conf or any file in Apache. Think how can I do this?

Answer 1

In the end, I decided to just add the LimitRequestFieldSize 500000 to the httpd-default.conf file

Answer 2

You just opened the door for a DoS attack.

Take a look at the LimitRequestFieldSize directive in the Apache documentation :
