Public bug reported: I just setup a new ubuntu server 8.04 LTS as a LAMP server in our production environment. Earlier we have been using Debian for our production servers. In the testing phase i found out that with a standard installation of 8.04 server with all the updates as of this date this bug hasen't been fixed.
The problem is that when somone tries to download a file (example: PDF, FLV) its either VERY slow or the user isen't able to download the file at all. I googled the solution and found out that when i tell apache to not use sendfile (EnableSendfile Off) it works great. This is a problem since this is set to On as default. I searched for other bugs related to this problem and found one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/95393/ but im reposting since that is specific to a live-cd and this is a plain normal install. Here is the printout from uname -a Linux prod 2.6.24-23-server #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 22:14:30 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux ** Affects: apache2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Apache2 can't serve static files over 100-200 kb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381465 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
