Kohana - controller specific .htaccess

Question

I\'m trying to set some htaccess rules for a specific Kohana controller. Basically its to do with form uploads. The majority of the site doesn\'t want to allow for large upl

Answer 1

What @LazyOne suggested is fairly easy to accomplish actually.

Consider this folder structure (only listing the most important files/folders):

application/
    bootstrap.php
lib/
    kohana-3.0.8/
        modules/
        system/
public_html/              <----- this is your DOCUMENT_ROOT
    .htaccess
    index.php

And consider you're using default Kohana's .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /


    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny From All


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT]

1. Now create an upload/ folder in your public_html/.
2. Copy both .htaccess and index.php from your DOCUMENT_ROOT to the upload/ folder.

3. Edit your upload/.htaccess: (only new changed lines displayed)

   php_flag max_input_time 86400
   php_value post_max_size 1536M
   php_value upload_max_filesize 1024M
   
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /upload/
   ...
   RewriteRule .* index.php/upload/$0 [PT]
   

4. Edit your upload/index.php and update all paths ($application, $modules, $system). You can download the whole tested package

5. Create an upload controller.

Additionally you could split index.php into two parts (cut after defining the paths) so you don't duplicate the whole file.

Setup like this worked just well for me and you can download my test application from here: http://d.pr/ioYk
