Apache 2GB Filesize Limit


Recommended Posts

There seems to be a >2GB filesize limit on Apache Webserver. Even with 777 rights on a file, if it's over 2GB you always get "403 Forbidden / File access denied" error message.

The version of Apache in question is 2.0.53. Fedora Core 3. Kernel 2.6.12-1

Is there a viable work-around. Any updates that address this issue, etc?

Many thanks for any and all help in advance.

Recompile that version of apache if it was build from source, or just install apache 2.2.

That issue has been fixed in versions of apache 2.1 and apache 2.2, both handle files using 64-bit file offsets.

Install it using the Fedora package manager, select to install the package apache-2.2, I believe it should take care of the rest.

EDIT: on Fedora Core I believe the apache package goes by the name of "httpd".
