Hi Folks,

I have an intranet installation of DNN 4.3 and am excited about using the media module. I tried to upload a 20 mb file to my site database to test the module but got an error:

A critical error has occurred.
Maximum request length exceeded.

Is there a maximum file size setting I can bump up? Obviously media display is all about big files.  Is this a limitation with SQL Express? does the database need to accept a larger file or is this an issue within DNN itself?

Looking forward to someone's insights.

 

Thanks,

 

Hal

There is a file size limitation in the default web.config.  You can increase the file size easily.  You may wish to adjust the timeout setting as well.  Here are the default lines from the web.config for 4.3.2:

<!-- allow large file uploads -->

<httpRuntime useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="8192" requestLengthDiskThreshold="8192"/>

Change the maxRequestLength and requestLengthDiskThreshold to whatever you wish.  The default timeout is in the machine settings but you can override it here.  So here's an example, you could change it to this to allow 10 meg files with up to 20 minutes of time to upload:

<!-- allow large file uploads -->

<httpRuntime useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="10240" requestLengthDiskThreshold="10240" executionTimeout="1200" />

I just want to say I'm glad I found this post as I have been trying to solve this problem for quite a while. I have never seen "executionTimeout" documented before, and this was definitely the key to solving large file upload problems for me (after setting maxRequestLength appropriately, of course.)

Does anyone know the path to appropriate folder on a GoDaddy-hosted installation ?  This may come as a surprise but GoDaddy support  was no help whatsoever.

TIA.

Gregg.
