Uploading Files bigger the 64M

I am having all sorts of troubles uploading files bigger then 64M using mod=
_perl2.

Any file I try to upload that is bigger then 63M I get the following error.

(20014)Internal error: Content-Length header (723283299) exceeds configured=
max_body limit (67108864)

So I told myself lets do a little research .... It is Perl so this should b=
e easy to fix. After a little of researching I found the APREQ2_ReadLimit =
parameter for the httpd.conf. So I added this to my httpd.conf.

APREQ2_ReadLimit 1024M (1 Gig)

Restarted Apache and tried again .... Still no luck with same error message=
.. Back to researching.

I found 2 more things which I thought would solve my problem. I found POST=
_MAX:

my $req =3D Apache2::Request->new($r,POST_MAX =3D>100 * 1024 * 1024);

And also

$req->read_limit(100 * 1024 * 1024);

So I tried playing with these settings and all I get now is "Conflicting in=
formation" in my log files. As soon as I set POST_MAX or read_limit to any=
thing below 67108864 it works fine for all files less then 64M in size. Ho=
w can I get mod_perl2 to upload a 700mb file. If you need sample code of w=
hat I am doing I am more then happy to provide it.

Thanks in advance,

1) You may lower the limit, not raise it. If you are trying to raise
it, you will get "Conflicting information".

2) Your server config trumps your virtual-host config. If you have not
set APREQ2_ReadLimit outside of your VirtualHost, then it is set for you
(64M).

Personally, I do this:

A) Set APREQ2_ReadLimit in /etc/httpd/conf.d/apreq.conf to the largest
value I would allow for any virtual host.

B) Set APREQ2_ReadLimit to the largest upload value appropriate for the
client inside their VirtualHost container.

C) Set $req->read_limit inside a PerlResponseHandler depending on the
logical type of request:

# The Apache request library only allows lowering the read limit
(POST_MAX).
# The default is 64M (64 * 1024 * 1024) so if larger uploads are
desired, one
# must raise the limit by setting APREQ2_ReadLimit in the Apache
configuration.
# When using VirtualHosts, the larger limit *must* be specified in
server
# configuration, and then optionally reduced in the vhost config.
# http://marc.info/?l=apreq-dev&m=115829354028472&w=2
my $limit = $req->read_limit();
my $max = $rr->max_post_size; # the max post size allowed for the
current request
if ($max > $limit) {
$Log->warn(sprintf('Cannot raise read_limit from %d to %d', $limit,
$max));
} else {
$req->read_limit($max) or die $!;
$limit = $req->read_limit();
$Log->error('Error setting read_limit') unless $limit == $max;
}

Worked like a charm. I had APREQ_ReadLimit in a vhost ... Once moving it o=

Many thanks!
