My extension is platform specific so I need to upload an xpi for each platform too. ie my account needs to be capable of having 50MB per release...

The max filesize limit is being hit because it's probably set to something smaller in php.ini on iguana.  To fix the problem, it would need to be bumped up and apache would have to be kicked.  The php.ini setting is in:
http://php.osuosl.org/manual/en/ini.php#ini.list

The setting is upload_max_filesize, and should be set to something higher -- maybe 12M?  That should be up to sysadmins to determine what is feasible.

Gecko is currently at 10MB, so I bumped it to 15MB. But this will probably not solve the issue.

Passing along the bug to someone more helpful.

And by Gecko, I mean iguana, sorry for the confusion.

Tried bumping up the max size setting to 15 M.  The request still times out with this message.

Requested content-length of 2251771 is larger than the configured limit of 1572864

Waiting for morgamic to test this out in a dev environment instead of tweaking stuff on a live system.

This document lists all the parameters that control the upload sizes.

http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/AttachmentSize

The settings I changed are:

in php.ini:
memory_limit = 20M
post_max_size = 15M
upload_max_filesize = 15M

and in php.conf (/etc/httpd/conf.d)
LimitRequestBody 15728640
