2 Go limit on download -- NextCloud 18.0.6

Hi,

We are using NextCloud since a while and all is good with it. We are using NextCloud 18.0.6 on Ubunto 16.04 LTS and Php 7.3.

But we are facing a problem, Nextcloud stop download if files bigger than 2 Go. We can upload big files like 7 Go but if we try to download these big files either in our network or in home/domestic network it stop downloading at 2 Go exactly all times.

It seems that it is not a parameter that i can configure in the GUI and i don’t see any limit in nginx.conf. Maybe the limit is coming from PHP but i can’t find where.

Is there a way to configure no limit for downloading files ?

Regards.

Is your system 32 bit? That is known to have problems with files larger than 2 GiB, however it would be strange that the upload works…
Check your logfiles as well, if your webserver <-> php <-> database communication does not run into timeouts at some point.

Perhaps this configuration in Apache2.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestbody

Can you post your modified configurations in apache2 or nginx to find the problem?

I think with Nextcloud 20 you must change to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or better 20.04 LTS because of your old php-version if you do not want to install from third-parties.

It is a x64 16.04 LTS Ubuntu.

I take a look in logfiles.

Thanks.

Thanks for the answers,

In the /var/log/nginx/error.log i got this log :

"
2020/06/22 13:06:31 [error] 8452#8452: *389 readv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading upstream, client: 172.30.137.47, server: cloud.lyc-renaudeau-49.ac-nantes.fr, request: “GET /index.php/apps/files/ajax/download.php?dir=%2FLogiciels%2FSolidworks%2FSOLIDWORKS%202019%20SP02&files=swwi&downloadStartSecret=ol072k5aho HTTP/2.0”, upstream: “fastcgi://unix:/var/run/nextcloud.sock:”, host: “cloud.lyc-renaudeau-49.ac-nantes.fr
"

And on the same download attempt i got this in /var/log/php7.3-fpm.log :

"

I don’t understand what is wrong but maybe can help you understand.
