    Increase the upload limit for files Error

    General

    Hi, I'm trying to increase the upload limit for files in Umbraco. I have tried to add this line to the <system.web> section:

    <httpRuntime  maxRequestLength="102400" executionTimeout="360"/>

    But when I do I get an error

    500 - Internal server error.

    When it try to view the site. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hi alan and welcome to our :)

    If I remember correctly the value entered in the attributes can cause this error if they're not set properly.

    I my web.config I have set the limit to 0,5GB.

    Try this <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" maxRequestLength="524288" executionTimeout="3600" />

    (Also note that you have set a timeout of only 360 seconds - in the above it's an hour).

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    Jan

    Thanks Jan. I found the issue. The was another httpRuntime  in the web.config so I just added maxRequestLength and executionTimeout to it it worked perfectly.

    Cheers

    Hi Alan

    Ah yes of course - it's a classic when getting error 500 after having modified the web.config file :)

    Remember to mark the post as solved so others can go straight to the solution if they come across the same problem.

    Cheers,
    Jan
