We plan on using Moodle next year. We have installed it on a Mac OS X Lion server and we're currently running Moodle 2.3. Most things have gone very smoothly. However, we've had two issues when dealing with large files over 2GB.
When restoring a course from a backup file larger than 2GB we get the message "error/tmp_backup_directory_not_found". I have read that this may have to do with php zip utilitiesnot being able to handle files over 2GB. I installed External zip utility which uses Mac's (or Ubutnu's) built in zip and unzip utilities. When enabled we get the same error when restoring. Restoring course backups under 2GB is fine.
When using a Mac computer (regardless of browser or OS version) all downloads stop at exactly 467MB. However, when using Windows to download the same file it completes (4.7GB). I have tried this on 5 different Macs running 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 using Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. Same result each time.
Anyway if anyone can help solve these two issues, it would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
John
