    Media section, any restrictions on size or format?

    Hi All,

    I have a client who is requiring to upload mp3's, wma's, mov's etc

    I have tried uploading the formats but just get an error message: Connection Interrupted.

    The files are over 5mb so was wondering if there is any restrictions on size or formats which can be modified setup within any of the config files?

    Thanks

    Tom

    The restrictions are from ASP.NET and are defined in the web.config.

    You can define the upload timeout and the upload size via

    <httpRuntime executionTimeout="360" maxRequestLength="990000" />

    in the section system.web of the web.config executionTimeout is set per seconds and the mxRequestLength as bytes

    hth,
    Thomas

    Oh yeah!!

    DOH!! That worked (apart from the maxRequestLength is in Kbs) cheers Thomas

    I think it would be good though to get an error message if possible to say file is too large. Especially for content editors.

    Clad I could help.

    Unfortunately the error comes from ASP.NET and not from umbraco. And the error messages from M$ aren't really good ;-)
