[EP-tech] cannot upload file above 1GB

[drn at ecs.soton.ac.uk (David R Newman)]

Hi Yuri,

I suspect this may be an Apache restriction on LimitRequestBody [1].? 
The default value for this is 1073741824 bytes which is 1 GiB.? I think 
you can put this in any Apache configuration file but as you want to 
make sure this is maintained if you migrate your repository, I would 
recommend adding it to your archive's securevhost.conf, as I would 
assume you have HTTPS enabled and therefore file uploads would only 
happen over HTTPS.? A setting something like:

LimitRequestBody 2147483648

Would up the max upload limit to 2GB, once you reload your webserver.

Regards

David Newman
