    Media Upload Error

    I am fairly new to using Umbraco, but I have managed to upload plenty of media files, however I am now trying to upload a PDF file and the progress bar gets to aorund 70%, stops and eventually fails.  I've tried a number of times, and haven't had any luck.

     

    Any help or advice would be appreciated!

    Hi Helen

    What is the file size of the pdf file?

    As default Umbraco allows files of 4 MB (4096 kilobytes) to be uploaded.
    In web.config the file size limit need to be changed: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/core/general/6017-media-file-size-limit

    So this would e.g. allow 10 MB to be uploaded:

    <system.web>
  <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10240" executionTimeout="360"/>
</system.web>

    You can use a converter like this http://www.whatsabyte.com/P1/byteconverter.htm to help converting the value from Megabytes to Kilobytes.

    Hi Helen,

     

    Yes, Bjarne  gives you good info. You simply add  maxRequestLength="32767" in httpRuntime if you want to upload file upto 32MB.

    Thanks
