Hmmm...but it works for smaller files?
Interesting, seems symlinks are not suitable for such a large files.

i dont know if it is a limit of apache ??
or that it is a wrong setting ^^

i am letting some1 try to fix it
if he cant get it fixed tehn he going install a other program on it (lighhttp) and see if that fix it

if that doesnt fix it then it is symlinks that refuse to work for that kind of big files :S

Thank you

he just recompiled apache from the latest source code

i used cpanel apache before (apache 2.0 i guess) and i formatted the server , so a clean install and only apache on it

he recompiled apache from source and everything was working
