Firstly super sweet package, lots of love for this! Its a really sweet way of getting files into Umbraco quickly, and really useful actually on the host server if you say need to quickly implement say a few gigabytes of data into Umbraco.
However I'm having a little bit of a problem with the Upload limit. In IIS7 I'm adding a system.webServer entry which says the request limits maximum allowed content length is say 1gigabtye, however the Media Uploader tool does not seem to be responding to this and still defaulting at limiting at around 4Mb.
If you have set the maxRequestLength attribute, you should need to set the DesktopMediaUploaderMaxRequestLength, as it's just an overide really. Best I could suggest would be to check your timeout on the server as whilst it may be allowed to upload 600mb, you connection might not be allowed to last long enough for it to upload. You might also want to try using a HTTP Traffic sniffer like Fiddler to see what the actual exception is behind the scenes.
IIS7 and Upload Limit
Hello,
Firstly super sweet package, lots of love for this! Its a really sweet way of getting files into Umbraco quickly, and really useful actually on the host server if you say need to quickly implement say a few gigabytes of data into Umbraco.
However I'm having a little bit of a problem with the Upload limit. In IIS7 I'm adding a system.webServer entry which says the request limits maximum allowed content length is say 1gigabtye, however the Media Uploader tool does not seem to be responding to this and still defaulting at limiting at around 4Mb.
What should I be doing?
<system.webServer> <security> <requestFiltering> <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="112428800"/> </requestFiltering> </security> </system.webServer>Thanks in advance and thanks for sharing such a valuable tool,
Laurie

Super sweet, but my next question then is why! (goes off to Google this and work out why).
Its a bit of an issue if you can't just set that in the IIS7 web.config, but you have to run a command. But super super useful to know.
Thanks for the quick response! Laurie
Sorry, the above is not the solution.
You need a combination of editing the web.config file with;
and also adding the maxRequestLength to the httpRuntime entry which is in system.web. e.g
Hope that helps someone, also note Matt has mentioned this should be fixed in the next release! Lau
(note the above is set to 2.0Gb )

Hey Guys,
Just to let you know, the latest version (2.0.2), you can now conifgure this using the IIS7 requestLimits tag.
Optionaly, if you only want to affect the DMU upload limits, you can also now set a DesktopMediaUploaderMaxRequestLength app setting to do just that.
Cheers

Hey,
I'm getting an upload problem using DMU under 4.6.1
Here's my WebConfig settings
<system.webServer> <security> <requestFiltering> <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="200000000"/> </requestFiltering> </security> </system.webserver>However a 600mb file gets cuts off (the status of DMU turns red)
Do i need to set a 'DesktopMediaUploaderMaxRequestLength' setting, if so where does it go please and with what parameter?
Cheers
Rich

Hey Matt,
Turns out I was missing a zero!
Needed to be 2000000000 not 200000000 as the posts above
For future ref:
<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" maxRequestLength="2000000000" /> <system.webServer> <security> <requestFiltering> <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="2000000000"/> </requestFiltering> </security> </system.webserver>:)

lol, easy mistake to make (I still can't see the difference between the numbers =)
Glad you managed to get it working.
