File upload limitation on IIS6/7

The default setting on IIS6/7 for file upload is set to 30MB of file size. This example extends the upload size to 2GB.

If you are using IIS6, you only need to extend this property in your web.config file: <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2000000" /> (integer number in kBytes)

If you are using IIS7 you need to modify above mentioned property and also you need to add to the web.config file marked piece of code (integer number in bytes):

...
<system.webServer>
<security>
    <requestFiltering>
        <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="2147483648"/>
    </requestFiltering>
</security>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
    <modules>
      <add name="ScriptModule" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
      <add name="XHtmlModule" type="CMS.CMSOutputFilter.OutputFilterModule, CMS.OutputFilter" />
    </modules>
    <handlers>
      <remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated" />
      <add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
      <add name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
      <add name="ScriptResource" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>
