Damn pipe character crashed my reply - hence the double post, sorry. Until that's fixed on the forums I'd really try to avoid using that character in the post title. Frustrating having to avoid it but it can take a while for bugs on our.umbraco to be addressed, so in the meantime if it can be avoided...
Media File Exceed Limit - UI Umbraco
Hi Guys,
I have people content populating a site of mine and they are coming across an issue which I have not seen before.
They are uploading PDF's within the media section and some files exceed the umbraco file size limit.
Spent a heap of time looking online for a possible fix and so far my research points me to edit something within my web.config file.
Please note that I am using Umbraco Version 4.7.2 - previous suggestions to look for these snippets of code:
maxRequestLength="1048576" requestValidationMode="2.0"/>maxAllowedContentLength="1048576" />Hi Jordy,
The settings may not be in the web.config file by default, but if not add them. As to where to add them... Put the <httpRuntime .../> one anywhere inside the <system.web></system.web> section (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e1f13641(v=vs.71).aspx) and put <requestLimits .../> as per this article under the header 'Configuration Sample' http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/security/requestFiltering/requestLimits. I had the same issue a while back, solved here: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/core/general/26241-Upload-large-files.
