 * If in your apache error logs you see some like…
 * `mod_fcgid: HTTP request length 131768 (so far) exceeds MaxRequestLen (131072)`
 * then you have a slightly deeper but highly fixable problem. This error means 
   that your host is running apache as fastcgi and has the MaxRequestLen set too
   low. For those user on Plesk (MediaTemple uses plesk) here is a fix or at least
   to get a sys savvy person on the right track.

 * Basically you need to mod the fcgid.conf file to allow a longer request length.
   On some linux distributions this is file is located at /etc/apache2/conf.d/fcgid.
   conf. On others it might be located at /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf . It could
   also be located in another place. Whereever it is, you need to add this:
 * `FcgidMaxRequestLen 1073741824`

 * Hi Polyfade-
 * The database we’re using for GeoPosty is provided by Quova. Although your story
   about the accuracy comparison is intriguing, Quova’s database ought to be the
   most accurate/dependable as it used for security and marketing by the likes of
   Facebook, Comcast, MLB and BBC. You can see more here: [http://www.quova.com/who/](http://www.quova.com/who/)
 * While you can get very close readings with opt-in html5 technology, I would not
   trust any database (including Quova’s or Maxmind’s) inside of 25 miles. If Maxmind
   somehow has better technology than Quova’s, I would be interested to hear about
   it. Though, the comparison you are describing seems like it could be a bit of
   luck.
 * As you can imagine, I would recommend your sticking with GeoPosty. As developers,
   we will continue to invest our time in it. Currently on the horizon is a better
   system for filtering locations and a test portal so that wordpress admins can
   test their work (without traveling to India).
 * Quova, as always, is improving their data as they move forward as industry leaders.
 * Thanks and brgrds,

 * Mike Challis-
 * Thanks for posting your comment. It saved me considerable time and trouble, as
   I definitely would not have come up with that on my own. Just one line of whitespace
   was destroying my efforts.
 * Thanks again,
