Question

The version control of attachments fails for large attachments?

I've successfully attached two subsequent versions of a Word .doc file and had them show up as 1.1 and 1.2. But, when I then try and update the attachment with a ~1MB version it has a problem. The new file gets uploaded to twiki/pub/Main/<topic> all right, but the version control file in that directory is not changed:

-rw-r--r--   1 httpd    site1    1083392 Feb  1 22:06 File.doc
-r--r--r--   1 httpd    site1     168773 Feb  1 21:32 File.doc,v

The META:FILEATTACHMENT as seen on the bin/rdiff page continues to have the previous version=1.2 rather than 1.3, though it does have a new date and size. And on the bin/attach page, the last large upload doesn't appear in the list of Versions, though it is there as the current one.

Looking in /home/log/httpd/error the following showed up after the large upload attempt:

sh: unexpected EOF while looking for `''
sh: -c: line 2: syntax error
