2GB > Limit
 

Greetings,

I've had nothing but problems this last week, trying to figure out why linux limits files to 2 gb or less. Fortunally, the 2.4.x kernel, allows it now, but not very many programs allow LFS (Large File Support)

I needed to get this movie off of our windows server, and I finally grabbed it with ncftp, regular ftp stops at 2 gig with a a 'file size limit exceeded' error.

So, the file is on the server, and it's working fine, its not corrupt or anything, so I put it in my wwwroot, and when I try to view it, I get a permission deined error, after looking at the log files, I get this error ;

[Fri Mar 15 14:06:10 2002] [error] [client x.x.x.x] (75)Value too large for defined data type: access to /bugs.mpg failed

I've talked to a bunch of different people and everyone says Apache has no file size limit. Does anyone know how to let Apache run over 2gb files?

Thank you!

Could be other limits that are set and not apache specific. The following mail might help you a little further in your quest:
