Member	ewanm - 1/2/2010 1:24:00 AM File sizes I am trying to allow users to upload files of various types to my site. It appears that when the file is large, it fails to upload. Can anyone offer any suggestions as I require to upload up to around 30Mb. Thanks, Ewanm


Member	Alex Rybin - 1/2/2010 6:01:32 PM RE:File sizes I think that is IIS restriction. What version of IIS do you use?


Member	ewanm - 1/3/2010 3:24:05 AM RE:File sizes Thanks Alex, I am running Windows Server 2003 with IIS V6.0. Ewanm


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 1/4/2010 2:16:45 AM RE:File sizes Hi all, Yes, it could be also IIS restriction, but you can also configure Kentico CMS to allow upload of bigger files by setting the MaxRequestLength parameter in web.config file. For more details please see this blog post. I hope it will help. Best Regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:File sizes

We are facing this same problem, and have set MaxRequestLength to allow up to 2gb. PDFs of 50MB size hang at 70%-100%. This is only happening in our production environment, where we have a web farm set up. That is the only difference we have been able to see. We have made sure that multiplefileuploader temp files are deleted. We cannot get any file larger than 500k to upload. We are running Server 2008 R2/IIS7. IIS has no bandwidth restrictions set. What are we doing wrong?


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 3/11/2013 5:36:02 PM RE:File sizes Hi, What are the request limits set on your IIS? Also, this blog post is about staging, but the file upload is there as well in a little bit different way so checking this may help too. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:File sizes

Thanks for the reply, Juraj. I believe we have unlimited request limits set in IIS, but I'll double-check. When we hit the server directly though - no ISA Server or firewall in between - the uploads of any large size are lightening fast. That's why we were investigating the firewall as a choke point. For the users in our building (the only ones doing uploads to the CMS), we now have an internal DNS which points the host header to one of the app servers in the farm.


Member	elias.anthan-metc.state.mn - 3/14/2013 8:25:33 PM RE:File sizes Turns out we had an issue with our Checkpoint firewall. As we're migrating to a new DMZ, we think this issue will go away. In the meantime, we're bypassing the firewall via an internal DNS.
