Dan, 
Thanks so much for your response...to be honest I didn't think I would get one. 

Upon further diffing I tracked down /etc/php.ini which looks to what needs to 
be updated. I was being told that only post_max_size needed to be updated but 
totally agree that upload_max_filesize also should be updated. Trick now would 
be to get sudo to enable me to do this or find an admin who can copy an updated 
version I made into /etc. 

In regards to restarting Apache...again dumb question, but does apache get 
restarted when the scheduler is restarted or much it be restarted separately? 
Frankly I have never done anything with apache.  (and the big unfortunately is 
when I was given fossology to support I was told not to spend any time on it 
learning anything but just to respond to issues as they arise...so every time 
there is an issue it's an adventure!)

My plan would be to initially increase the size of these 2 properties to 4096M, 
restart the scheduler(fossology), and test. If OK, update the properties to a 
size to accommodate the large file they are trying to process  and repeat the 
above. I don't think I'll leave it at that size, 16384M, but would probably put 
it back to 4096M. 

Thanks!!!!!
Charlie

Don't feel too bad - we're still on 2.6.2 for our production instance (again, 
long story..  Suffice it to say these releases have a long lifespan)

You should only need to update the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size 
parameters in your php.ini file.  In our case for example, we have

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; http://php.net/upload-max-filesize
upload_max_filesize = 4096M

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
; http://php.net/post-max-size
post_max_size = 4096M

Once you have updated php.ini, just be sure to restart Apache to pick up the 
changes.  Then try to do a > 2G upload from file (ideally from a client that 
isn't too far away, network-wise) to verify that it works.
