    Posted: 18 October 2006 at 3:14pm

Hi there,

I thought I read somewhere earlier about increasing the file upload size to above 2MB.. Yet after 40 minutes of searching i can't find it.
 
So, I know that you have to edit the iis metabase and change the ASPMAXREQUESTENTITYALLOWED to what ever size I want.
 
Do I need to change anything on the FSO (Dundas) side of things?
 
And then do I just need to make a change to the code somewhere in the forum to allow me to change to the required size?
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Many thanks

admin_upload_configure.asp
          <option<% If intMaxFileSize = 500 Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>500</option>
          <option<% If intMaxFileSize = 750 Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>750</option>
          <option<% If intMaxFileSize = 1000 Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>1000</option>
          <option<% If intMaxFileSize = 1500 Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>1500</option>
          <option<% If intMaxFileSize = 2000 Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>2000</option>
          <option<% If intMaxFileSize = 5500 Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>5500</option>
          <option<% If intMaxFileSize = 10000 Then Response.Write(" selected") %>>10000</option>

I don't know about the Dundas component as you would need to check there support on this, but if you have increased the upload size above 2000Mb in the IIS metabase, then to increase it above to 2000Mb in Web Wiz Forums edit the database tblConfiguartion to allow larger uploads.

Although the 2000Mb limit is there for a reason as HTTP is NOT a good way to upload files and it places a big strain on the web server.

WOw!! You guys are quick!! and at around 2AM.
 
 
Thank you to both of you.
 
The upload settings are working great - 2mb for images & 10mb for files.
 
Thanks for the heads up on the server load... I checked out the system usage at the time of upload, it does take a bit of processing power. Luckily not many people visit my site! LOL (www.evilcow.net {shameless plug})
 
Many thanks
