Hi Blake

Well you probably also need to set max file size limitation then.

Have a look at this article from Jeavon Leopold at the 24days.in/umbraco advent calendar to see where and how to add it.

Hope this helps! :)

HI Blake, this didn't work for you? It shouldn't be Umbraco version dependent, as the httpruntime element really an element of .NET.

-Amir

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" enableVersionHeader="false" maxRequestLength="204800" executionTimeout="99999" />

@Amir

Sometimes you need to add this as well

<!-- Max file size limitation -->
<security>
  <requestFiltering>
    <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="157286400" />
  </requestFiltering>
</security>

As mentioned in the article I refer above :)

@Jan, great guide for config tweaks!

-Amir

Yup, Jeavon did a good job (As always) :-)

Hey guys thank you so much for the quick answers and I'm sorry for the redundant question in the forum. I tried with you suggested and updated my web.config to 

Web.config:

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" enableVersionHeader="false" targetFramework="4.5" maxRequestLength="512000" executionTimeout="99999" />

I also added this in the system.webServer section:

<security>

      <requestFiltering>

        <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="157286400" />

      </requestFiltering>

    </security>

but I'm getting this error message when I try to upload a 151MB mp4 file into the media section. Since the drag and drop way wasn't showing up anything I made a file manually and then tried to upload the mp4 file - that is where I got the error message.

Error Message:

Request error: The URL returned a 404 (not found):

I appreciate the help very much. Thank you!!

Thanks Jan! I added that section to the staticContent like you suggested. I updated the httpruntime maxrequestlength to 524288000 and I tested a 6MB image just to make sure that I could in fact upload larger than the default max size file and that worked. I do still have the security maxallowedcontentlength which is currently set to 524288000. I tried reuploading the video file again but it didnt work.

I think it may be the video file type? I tested uploading some other large files into the media section and they all worked. I tried a 136MB PSD file, and a 228MB zip file and those uploaded just fine. So I think you guys have sucessfully helped me fix the file size upload limit, thank you very much! Again I'm sorry for the redundant post. I didn't realize I was having the same issue. =\

I'm going to keep working on trying to figure out why my video isn't uploading though. Thank you bunches for the help so far!!

Hi Blake

Well I would be surprised if there is a server setting you need to set since it should be enough to define it at the application level, which is in the web.config file.

Is it happening on a local site or a live site? If live...who is hosting the site?

/Jan

...And if you set "customErrors" to "off"...do you then get a more detailed error message?

/Jan

Ah ha! I refreshed the page and I tried the video again to double check and I let it sit there for a while and it worked! It took a minute but it worked! =D yay!! Before the save button was graying out and it would just sit there and I hit reload nodes to see if it uploaded but nothing happened. I'm sure the changes you suggested to make to the web.config are what fixed it though because I haven't done anything else but sit here and try to upload giant files. Thank you so much for all your help!! =) I'm glad this is working now. It was the last piece to finish this portal.

Hi Blake

Very happy to hear that - was going out of my mind as well over this :D

However it's probably because that v7 is caching a lot harder than we're used too so sometimes recycling the app pool is not enough.

/Jan

I must learn to be more patient now! :) Seriously, thank you so much for your help! I'm super grateful that the Umbraco community is so helpful! People like me need it! lol

I am stuck in the same situation. Did everything. Can anyone help me here. Just trying to add simple .mp4 videos via the media section on Umbraco 7

I get in red NOT FOUND NOT FOUND errors

 <system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<trace enabled="false" requestLimit="10" pageOutput="false" traceMode="SortByTime" localOnly="true" />
<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" enableVersionHeader="false" targetFramework="4.5"  maxRequestLength="993600"  />

 <security>
    <requestFiltering>
      <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="4000000" />
    </requestFiltering>
  </security>

Hi, attention please. Into the U7 web.config, there is already the httpRuntime rule. So you need to add only the key maxRequestLength="153600" to that rule.

 <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" enableVersionHeader="false" targetFramework="4.5" **maxRequestLength="153600"** />

and you need add

 <!-- Max file size limitation --> 
<security>   <requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="157286400" />  
</requestFiltering> </security>

in the the system.webServer section

Hello Umbraco Team,

We have a video upload feature within our Umbraco site. Earlier our client could upload 50 MB mp4 files on the live site. But recently they started getting the below error, when they upload approx 48 MB mp4 file. I tried on my local and UAT environment and I could upload 48 MB mp4 files by setting the maxRequestLength and maxAllowedContentLength values as mentioned in this discussion above. Any thoughts on what can be the other reason for file upload failure? (Is SQL database size need to be changed? or IIS/Firewall issue?) FYI, We recently upgraded our Umbraco to 7.5.3 version and on server we have IIS 8.5.

Request error: The URL returned a 404 (not found): /standards/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Media/PostSave with data: ... Contact your administrator for information.

When we copied the same Umbraco database locally, we could upload 48 MB files.

is working on a reply...
