If you check the apache2 changelog, you'll note that we once turned on
large file support, but due to A) ABI incompatibilities with upstream
that we got yelled at for, and B) an odd bug in subversion we couldn't
readily hunt down, we turned it off again.
The upstream 2.0 does NOT support large (> 2GB) files on 32-bit
platforms, the upcoming 2.2 release does.
If you want to compile your own, you can grab the LFS patches from
debian/patches/to-review, move them into debian/patches, uncomment the
FILE_OFFSET CFLAGS in debian/rules, and build the packages, it does all
work fine, but it breaks the module ABI, so you need to recompile all
your apache modules too (including enabling LFS in PHP).
An easier option may be to switch to a 64-bit platform, where large file
support is the norm. ;)
