Hi all,

I am quite sure I am going to feel like a dope for asking, but, I cannot upload files that a larger than a couple of MB. I have looked through the code and I cannot figure out where to increase the acceptable file size. I remember a while back someone had asked a similar question about the vanilla IBS Portal and the answer was in a Web.Config setting, but for the life of me I cannot find the thread. I have increased the storage limit to 5GB so I don't think that is it. Does anyone know the answer to this riddle?

Robert I think you have to do it in your machine.config file. You can find this file in your asp.net directory under program files.

That was it.

I found this KB article: Q330809 Error Message When You Upload a Large File

You have to set the values of maxRequestlength to the max files size you want and then set a reasonable timeout period.

In changing this option do you effect the server proformace?

This adjustment has no bearing on server performance, provided you do not adjust connectionManagement, maxWorkerThreads, appRequestQueueLimit or minFreeThreads in the processModel.

l have been able to upload 5 meg files but have been unsuccessful in uploading files that are bigger.

I change the settings to accomodate 15 meg.

is there some code l should add to the web.conf file?

You may be suffering from a script timeout due to the amount of data being transferred. The default script timeout is 90seconds, which with a 512kb connection would give approximately 5MB maximum upload. If you need a longer timeout throughout the application, edit your web.config file, and add the executionTimeout attribute and set it to the value you need e.g. the following extends it to 180 seconds

<httpRuntime useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="8192" executionTimeout="180" />

Alternatively, you can use Server.ScriptTimeout at the page level.
