Hi,
Does anyone have a solution for the following error? We can not add a large file to Subversion. We are using Apache 2.2.16 and svnclient-win32-1.6.6 for Windows. Any information is greatly appreciated.

A:
First, you really shouldn't store 3 GB files in SVN. Seriously. Small binary files are OK, but otherwise, SVN and their source control cousins are really for source code, not 3 GB files.
The Entity Too Large error is being raised by Apache. Apache 2.2 does support files uploaded larger than 2gb, but perhaps Subversion does not, or perhaps you are running Apache on a Windows machine. In any case, your question is more suited to ServerFault.

Yes, maybe we will break down the files to a smaller sizes. Yes, Apache is running on a Windows machine. I will check ServerFault.Thank you.

I would recommend seeking out an alternative to storing your large files - the first question to ask is if you really need versioning for these files. Maybe a backup solution would be better, like Dropbox for something backed by Amazon S3. Regarding Apache on Windows: the link I posted indicated that >2GB file support in was only for Unix-like systems. In Windows, you probably need a 64-bit machine, Windows, and Apache. Good luck!
