My guess is it isn't this.

The default for uploading stuff to apache is 2GB, which is usually enough.

More likely you are out of RAM for the CGI script - the CGI language
probably has a specific limit - for example PHP is usually restricted to
8MB per process, and there may be an Apache limit per process as well,
plus of course system per process restrictions on memory.

Tight per process limits are a prerequisite for scalable web
applications when most people are doing process per client, or something
similar.

What are you trying to achieve, and precisely what error do you get --
also check the Apache error log as this will typically have more
information.
