Limit apache bandwidth per user

I have a server and running with Apache. I know that the cPanel has the bandwidth limit but the user should not exceed the normal limit of band width for a day or hour. How should I do that using Apache.

You can use mod_bw on apache2 to limit the speed of which files get uploaded. Make sure that you have installed this module in your Apache.

Check the bandwidth module installed in your apache:
#/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -M |grep mod_bw

Then,

Now create a directory with the username and domain name


/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/USERNAME/DOMAIN.COM

eg:- username : heman and domain name: hemanth.com

/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/heman/hemanth.com

Create a file “cp_bw_all_limit.conf” paste the contents and save and quit.

This will limit the user bandwidth to 250kb/s.

The reason for this customized setup beacuse if you upgrade apache or do some modification this conf will remain the same. In case of upgrade the customized settings will be erased from the http.conf.
