Hello, I just finished transferring from one VPS at JaguarPC to a VPA at Nocster. Setup and everything went smooth, VPS runs good etc...

I sell some data packages that I offer either package on DVD format for package cost +shipping, or download format for just package cost no shipping.

On my JaguarPC VPS, no issues at all. On my Nocster VPS, now that I have my DNS Switched over, tried downloading my larges package.

My package sizes are as follows:
7.2 Gig
1.5 Gig
1 Gig
650 Mb
300 Mb

All the packages 1.5 gig and less download without issue. However, the 7.2 gig file will not download. All files are in RAR format. I have uploaded new copy of the 7.2 gig file, no change.

To try to narrow down the problem. I created "dummy" files to see if it was a Size issue.

Here is the "dummy" file size breakdown:

1.5 gig
1.75 gig
2 gig
2.25 gig
2.5 gig
3 gig
4 gig
5 gig
6 gig
7 gig

Found once I hit approx 2.5 gig file size, it could no longer be downloaded via HTTP. Anything below that, works fine. Old VPS, once again no issue.

Error I get is :
-----------------------------
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /xxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.41 Server at ebay.globaldc.com Port 80
-----------------------------

I put the "X"'s In for privacy.

Does anyone know of what setting I can change to fix this? or what software upgrade I can do to fix this? Or anyone here fix this for me and I pay them?

Thank You!


P.S. Running CentOS 5 on both new and old VPS. Latest DA version. 50 gig storage space on VPS using only about 30 gigs, 1tb data transfer. Permissions are properly set on the files.
 
The only way this could be an issue with DirectAdmin is if it were an issue with a default file-size configuration, probably somewhere in httpd.conf chain.

Most likely your running apache 1.x you will need to run 2.x for large file support.
