[mythtv-users] Mythweb and file stat problem

[Bill Chmura]

Hello,

When I go into mythweb and my current recordings and click on a file I get an 
error 

You don't have permission to 
access /mythweb/video_dir/1056_20040814000000_20040814010000.nuv on this 
server.

Okay, this did not make any sense, so I checked my apache error logs and found 
this:

[Sat Aug 14 01:35:01 2004] [error] [client 66.55.207.225] (75)Value too large 
for defined data type: access 
to /mythweb/video_dir/1056_20040814000000_20040814010000.nuv failed, referer: 
http://mydomain.com/mythweb/recorded_programs.php

Okay, when I go and research this I found this little tidbit on php.net

----------------------------
php functions that rely on the underlying *nix stat() call, such as 
file_exists, can fail for extremely large files on some unix implementations.

This is not a bug in php AFIK, but a caution for unix users.

A file_exists on a DVD-sized .iso image on linux (kernel 2.4.x) for example, 
returns:
   stat failed for <filename> (errorno=75: value too large for defined 
datatype)
-----------------------------

So I am actually running a 2.4 kernel, and don't have the option to upgrade 
the kernel.  But MythWeb does not look like its actually calling any php from 
there, but an actual url to the file.  So thats probably not it.

I put an index.html into that directory (the one with the nuv files) and I can 
get it fine... same permissions.

I am not sure if apache has a file limit size, I cannot find anything on the 
apache web site...   Has anyone else seen this?

I am running:

MythWeb from CVS
Linux 2.4.25
Apache 2.0.49
