Title: http and huge files
Post by: harkete on August 13, 2007, 03:01:56 AM
Hi,

I'm trying to make available a big file apprx. 5gb on the Primary i-bay of my server. Although it is there it does not show in the directory listing. If I try to type in the url to the file directly, I get "Value too large for defined data type: access to ... failed" in the error_log and 403 in the access_log. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Using latest version of SME Server 7.2.

Neither, it is a limitation in Apache.  You can not transfer a file greater than 2GB with Apache 2.0.

Try moving the file to the .../files directory and using ftp instead.

This is a limit of apache and probably will not be fixed for the 7.x stream.  8.x (based on COS5) has the newer version of apache that has fixed this issue.
