Question: I'm trying to upload a file larger than 2GB to a local PHP 5.3.4 server. I've set the following server variables:

```none
memory_limit = -1
post_max_size = 9G
upload_max_filesize = 5G

```

However, in the error\_log I found:

> 
> PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 2120909412 bytes exceeds the limit of 1073741824 bytes in Unknown on line 0
> 
> 
> 

Can anyone tell me why this keeps failing please?

Answer: 
I figure out how to use http and php to upload a 10G file.

php.ini:

```
post_max_size = 0
upload_max_filesize = 0

```

It works in php 5.3.10.

if you do not load that file all into memory , memory\_limit is unrelated.
We've had the same problem: uploads stopped at 2GB.

Under SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) 11 SP 2, php53 was the problem.

Then we added a new repository that has php54:
<http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php/SLE_11_SP2/>

and upgraded to that, we now can upload 5GB :-)
