We recently upgraded to the premium edition of the Web Wiz Forums. Our forums are internal-only. I would like to be able to "wildcard" the file types, as opposed to manually listing file types to allow. Even better would be if there was a whitelist and a blacklist to make it easier to configure. I only added a few file types, and I'm already out of room... |

| Also, the 2000K limit is not enough. We have Word docs bigger than that, hehe... |

I also tried uploading a 1.37MB doc file and got an error. Basically it sat for about a minute. My connection icon near the Windows clocked shows nothing being sent. After a minute, I get the error message: "Error uploading file!! The file uploaded is of the wrong type" This is followed by a list of allowed types, of which doc is included. We are using the Dundas upload component. Is there a way to test if this is working? |

It doesn't stop there... I used a very small text file to test if uploading worked at all, and it does. I did this by using the "edit post" option, then adding the file. I chose NOT to upload the file, but it is still in my File Manager. When I try to "delete" the file, it will not delete. |

Not sure about the other things, but there is no way around the 2MB upload limit. You can't http anything larger than that, you will have to ftp it. I think its a microsoft limit in IIS or something.
I also can't upload anything either. I get a mess of errors and it hasn't worked for me since day one. Kinda gave up on it and hope that no one asks about it lol |

I run my own website at home. There is no "2MB IIS" limit. I use a PHP upload script. I have the timeout set high, and have zero issues, even with 100MB+ uploads from across country. That is how me and my family share pictures and videos. If the developers of these forums chose a 2MB limit for a reason, it's not IIS... |

| This forum is coded in ASP. How are you using a php upload script? Try Huge ASP file upload... you get 2GB limit :) |

I'm talking about my personal website. I use YaBB for my forums, and a free PHP uploader for a separate upload page. This was just an example in reply to what you said about IIS... At work, we've chosen to go with Web Wiz Forums, which support 5 ASP upload components, two that cost and two that are not available any more. That leaves one (Dundas) that is free to install. I have found dll files for the two that are no longer available, but it is not an installer. I have no idea where to put the dlls... |

| I can verify I cannot delete the file from my File Manager in IE7 or Firefox.... |

| There is a posting somewhere on this forum by Borg that discusses the 2MB asp limit being a setting in IIS that can be changed if necessary. I think webdav is a better way to go. |

Update I manually deleted the file from the upload folder in the forums directory. I tried uploading a file called "test.txt". I was able to upload it and delete it from File Manager without issue. I reuploaded the first txt file I had a problem with, and again, I couldn't delete it. The file name is "C&A_Goulet.txt" |

What is "webdav"? (and why don't I have a cursor on these forums? ...I have no idea where I'm typing!) All I know is that we just paid to upgrade, almost solely for the purpose of uploading, and we still can't upload. There was no mention of another component required. How can "file uploading" be advertised as a premium feature when the file uploading functionality is not part of the code?! Oh, and regarding the 2MB limit, after a little research, it IS a limit of IIS in regards to ASP uploads, not uploads in general. So if I change the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed value, how do I choose more than 2MB if the pull-down list in Web Wiz Forums still has 2MB? Does that list somehow read the value of AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed?

Another update I renamed the previous doc file to test.doc, and it still will not upload, even though it is only 1.37MB. |

Update 3 Changed the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed value to 50000K. Same error message when trying to upload the test.doc file. |

So this is not the appropriate medium for solving a problem? Wouldn't it better to fix the problem in the forums, so a user with the same issue in the future can read it here before calling? This is just my opinion, so don't take offense. |
