You'll need to upgrade apache to 2.2. Apache 2.0 doesn't support such
large files.

I recommend you read:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html

Which simply states:

Large File Supporthttpd is now built with support for files larger than 2GB

So, honestly, I have not run into any problems with any files larger than
2GB yet and I have had some pretty large file requests.

One thing I have noticed and this may help you (or others) now or in the
future is trying to turn "EnableSendfile Off", sendfile has problems
with large files on some systems (and thus did on some of my boxes in odd
situations, mainly client based if I recall...).

I hope we all helped.

Cheers,

I read usenet and lists in pine. But m$ outlook, thunderbird and gmail
often use html span/whatever for quotes, makes it hard to tell who said
what, so I dont try. If I ignore you, thats why! Use a compliant mailer.

And Apache 2.2 suports files up to what? 4GB?
