    max file sizes

    Reply Quote

    Greetings:

           I am having a lot of success with custom config settings (the tool will be quite useful when I've got it), but I have not been able to, as yet, set one thing...

    File sizes ("MaxMediaSize", etc.) - I've set that in my custom config xml, and it has had no effect on uploadable file size. Unfortunately, this runs afoul of the http handler (see error) for my current site config.

    Am I missing something? Thanks.

           Jeff

    Please check the following article:
     
     

    SYMPTOMS

    When you try to use the HtmlInputFile control to upload a large file, the file may not be uploaded.

    CAUSE

    This problem occurs because the default value for the maxRequestLength parameter in the <httpRuntime> section of the Machine.config file is 4096 (4 megabytes). As a result, files that are larger than this value are not uploaded by default.

    RESOLUTION

    To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:
    • In the Machine.config file, change the maxRequestLength attribute of the <httpRuntime> configuration section to a larger value. This change affects the whole computer.
    • In the Web.config file, override the value of maxRequestLength for the application. For example, the following entry in Web.config allows files that are less than or equal to 8 megabytes (MB) to be uploaded: 
    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="8192" />

           ...*sigh*... What I want is help setting the limits in Cute Editor's config so I don't bust through the 4 meg limit: That is, I've created a new security config XML file, set MaxMediaSize to 4000, referenced it in my page instance of Cute Editor, and MaxMediaSize is unaffected (it still shows 9.7 megs in the upload window, which I'm assuming is 10000). Other config changes I've made there (allowable filenames, allowable media types, etc.) are making it through, but not that.
           If you need me to copy in the parts of the XML, or the instance of the Cute Editor in my HTML, I'll be happy to.
           I'm finding that not all configs seem to work intuitively....for instance, booleans (true/false) work for turning off menu items, but the ShowBottomBar requires a string - "True" or "False" in quotes (that really messed with my head for a bit).

    ...nevermind, code accomplished it, I let loose of the config file.
