I’d like to make some very large files available for
HTTP download from my Apache v2.2.3 server on RHEL5, but it’s not
working. I get the following error message: [error] [client 10.1.1.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /Very_Large_File.rar
denied It would appear to be a file permission problem, but the directory
paths to the document root are all 755 or better: / /var /var/www/ /var/www/html and the permissions on the file itself I’ve set to 777
for testing purposes. The same client can download small .rar files from the same
directory with the same file permissions. The only difference that
I can discern is that the file is smaller in size. I’ve further tested access to the file with “sudo
–u apache cat Very_Large_file.rar” which can open the file
fine. So I’ve pretty much ruled out permissions issues. I’ve also enabled ‘debug’ LogLevel but
there’s nothing generated that is helpful. I don’t see anything in my .conf files that enforce
any file sizes. I didn’t even see such an option in the
document, there appears to be configuration options only for limiting the size
of the HTTP request *sent* by the client. Any insight into what’s happen would be appreciated! Thanks, John |
