I'm attempting to upload a 57.2mb PDF file to my DMX installation; there's only one other file i've uploaded to my fresh DMX install thus far. According to your documentation I can upload files up to 2gb; yet when I attempt to upload the pdf I get the following error Server Error in '/' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maximum request length exceeded. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

You might want to make sure your web.config file is set to allow large file uploads. It could be .NET itself that is blocking the file. Search your web.config file for "maxrequestlength", and the number you see is the file size in KB that can be uploaded. For instance, if it's just around 4000, that's only about 4 megs. Bump that up and increase the timeout limit (in seconds) as well. Hope this helps. Jason

Jason, That was it! I thank you for your assistance! Additionally, when you mention Timeout Limit; do you mean the cookieTimeout? or the Form Timeout? I also increased the requestLengthDiskThreshold as well.

Glad that worked for you, Chris! In the same httpruntime section of your web.config file, you can specify a parameter called maxRequestLength, where the length is listed in seconds. By default, this is not in your web.config file, and it will use the default value of 110 seconds. Depending on how large of a file you want to allow, you might have to increase this dramatically. For instance, you could add the following: maxRequestLength="600" and it would give users up to 10 minutes to upload their file. You could add this directly after the "requestLengthDiskThreshold" value.

I clearly haven't had enough coffee this morning! Obviously, we already covered "maxRequestLength", and so my post above makes no sense. The parameter that DOES set the timeout value in seconds (and defaults to 110) is: executionTimeout="600" I'm sorry for the confusion. Adding the executionTimeout of 600 will give you 10 minutes to upload a file.
