I am trying to use the upload media file feature in version 3.0. I have set the file size to 10000K and have the media folder setup correctly off the uploads folder. When I attempt to upload a windows media file that is around 8Meg after a long pause I get a screen in the middle of the upload area that says,

	Action canceled

This is a server-related limitation. IIS6.0 prevent the upload of files more than +200Kb. So you need to make some changes in the default IIS settings first.

The solution is here:

IIS 6.0 (Windows 2003) has a file named metabase.xml which resides in the C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv folder. Navigate to that directory and edit the file. Search for an entry called AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed. This defaults to a value of 204800, which causes IIS 6.0 to limit allowed upload size to 204,800 bytes.

 

Changing this value to a large number (such as 2000000000 for 2 gigabytes) will allow your Windows 2003 server to accept large uploads.

 

If your server does not allow the Metabase Edit-While-Running feature, you will need to stop the IIS service before you can save the metabase.xml file.

Thanks Adam. I'll pass that on to our server administrator. Appreciate the prompt reply and Happy New Year to you as well!

Btw, did you receive the e-mail I sent you before Christmas regarding the CuteEditor for ASP update for Mozilla browsers? I would like to discuss this further with you as well as if what we are doing with the CuteEditor and SQL database would work on the .net version. Depending on how difficult it would be to implement in our asp pages, that might be a better solution.
