When I try to upload attachments to an answer I only can upload small PDFs (0,6 MB works but 5MB doesn´t).

When I used Version 2.0.1 I got an error message (like "turn on custom errors to see the error"). Now I updated to 2.2.0 and not even get an error message anymore. It just doesn´t upload the file.

To be sure that it is not a problem of file size limitation i set the limit to "empty" to not have a limit. But it still doesn´t work.

Do you have an idea?

"xxx" is in KB. The default is 4096 (= 4 MB)

There is no maxRequestLength in the web.config .

Here is the web.config . Probably you can find something wrong in it.

(I deleted the token keys)

When I add your code the web.config (and restart the website and the yaf applikation) I get a "500 - Internal Servererror".

Btw: I use a Windows Server 2008 R2 and IIS 7.5. Based on the server data and your information i googled that this would be the right code:


<system.webServer>
   <security>
     <requestFiltering>
       <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="2147483648" />
     </requestFiltering>
   </security>
 </system.webServer>

But this did not take any effect.

Ok to make it easier all you have to do is replace the line

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />

with this...

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" maxRequestLength="2147483648" />

But i don't think allowing 2gb files is such a good idea

This is the result:

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".



<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Ok, you were right. 2 GB is too much. With 20MB it works.

:-d Thank you!
