what does the apache error log show ( if anything ).
What does the apache log file show for the filename.jpg file?
If you get a good return code in the apache log... does the bytes
sent match the file size?

Does it work with smaller files and just not larger files.
Can you do cp filename.jpg /tmp and have it get copied correctly?

what does wget -O erase.me "http://127.0.0.1/directory/filename.jpg"
give you when you run it from your webserver. does the erase.me
file have the correct number of bytes when the transfer completes?


Just wondering if the web server is having access files for 'large'
files or files after 'x' bytes and your just not seeing it getting
a directory index listing.
